The City of Hendersonville Stormwater Department is pleased to announce a stream clean-up event along Mud Creek. The event will take place on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM.
The stream clean-up initiative aims to preserve and protect the local waterways, enhance wildlife habitats, and promote community involvement in environmental conservation efforts. This is also a great way to be a part of helping our waterways recover from the damage of Hurricane Helene.
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.
"This stream clean-up is a meaningful way for residents to care for our local environment and help restore our waterways following Hurricane Helene,” said Stormwater Manager Michael Huffman. "It’s a great way to connect with others, give back to the community, and make a visible impact on the health of our ecosystem."
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 and know that they are likely to get muddy!
The city can provide canoes for 14 people, but encourages anyone who has their own canoe/kayak to join.
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
