WaterWays hosted another successful streambank repair on February 10th, 2026 along the banks of Stringers Branch. In partnership with the City of Red Bank Public Works and Stormwater Division, WaterWays was able to train public employees and a fabulous volunteer group on the benefits, strategies, and implementation of DIY streambank repair.
Since this is the second time returning to this location, we were able to build off previous work, resulting in a reduction of the invasive Winter Creeper, an installment of approximately 30 feet of coir matting, live stakes, and a livestake silt fence.
With Red Bank’s partnership and support, WaterWays has been able to raise awareness on the importance of bolstering the health of Stringers Branch, an impaired stream on the EPA’s Impaired Waters, and a tributary of the Tennessee River. We all are connected to water tributaries and sheds. As Red Bank continues to commit to restoring its natural resources, benefits will not only be felt in their community, but also throughout the greater Tennessee River Watershed for years to come! Take a look at the work this partnership has achieved on the walking bridge behind the Red Bank Police Department!
