Working together to protect and restore the Harpeth River Watershed and provide expertise in statewide conservation policy

2008 Harpeth Protection Campaign

Help us make 2008 a "watershed" year for the Harpeth, your middle Tennessee jewel.
We will be working to:

• modernize any future use of the Harpeth for drinking water by removing the lowhead dam in Franklin
• ensure the clean-up of Egyptian Lacquer's ongoing contamination affecting people, fish and wildlife
• develop a plan to reduce sewer discharges into the river
• provide more canoe access along the entire river as part of the Harpeth River
