Stream Clean Up of Wash Creek

As part of its ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and in celebration of Earth Day, the City of Hendersonville Stormwater Division is pleased to announce a stream clean-up event along Wash Creek. The event will take place on Saturday April 20, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. 

The stream clean-up initiative aims to preserve and protect the local waterways, enhance wildlife habitats, and promote community involvement in environmental conservation efforts. Wash Creek will benefit from the collaborative efforts of volunteers, city staff, and environmental advocates. 

Volunteers are invited to participate in the clean-up efforts. Participants will work alongside city staff to remove litter from the creek and its surrounding areas. 

All necessary clean-up materials, including gloves, bags, and safety equipment, will be provided to volunteers. Participants are encouraged to wear appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor activities. 

Individuals and organizations interested in volunteering for the stream clean-up event are encouraged to register in advance at this link: https://www.cognitoforms.com/CityOfHendersonville4/StreamCleanUpRegistration  

Join us on April 20th as we come together to make a positive impact on our environment and celebrate Earth Day in Hendersonville.
