Adopt-A-Waterway allows individuals, families, and organizations to commit to ongoing stewardship in their local streams throughout the Tennessee Valley Watershed.
Our Adopt-A-Waterway Program was founded in 2018 on the principle that everyone can be a steward. Our goal is to connect as many volunteers as possible to their local waterways, where they will enhance water quality through stewardship projects.
Adopting a stream means a two year commitment to the segment of your choosing, with at least one stewardship project required every year. You will be recognized on site with a sign, and supported by WaterWays throughout the adoption process.
