our mission at Publix, so we are pleased to be part of a program
that’s benefitting several of the states in which we operate.”
The original scope of the program historically has been
supported through a work plan that KTnRB has with the
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Tennessee
Department of Transportation (TDOT), two agencies that
have also long-supported KTnRB’s river cleanup efforts. The
adoption signs are provided by KTnRB partner and national
nonprofit, Living Lands & Waters.
To adopt a river mile within the Tennessee River watershed,
