CAMPBELL COUNTY, TN. (WLAF)- The Norris Lake Project Team is calling for volunteers to lend a helping hand in the 14th Annual Fall Five County Norris Lake Cleanup, spanning Anderson, Campbell, Claiborne, Union, and Grainger Counties. Taking place on Sat., Sept. 16 from 9am to 1pm, this event aims to preserve the natural beauty and conserve the resources of the Norris Lake Watershed area.

The cleanup effort will be conducted where the Powell River and Clinch River converge. There will be two launch locations: Anderson County Park and Shanghai Resort and Marina in LaFollette. Volunteers will have access to boats that will transport them to and from cleanup sites inaccessible by land. Additionally, barges will be utilized to transport collected trash back to the shore.  Volunteers with boats are encouraged to bring them to assist in the efforts. 

All volunteers are asked to wear appropriate footwear, preferably boots.  Volunteers can also bring gloves and life jackets if they have them, especially for youth participants.  Minors must be accompanied by an adult and are required to have a registration and release form signed by a parent.
