Description:
Fall Into the New is annual event organized by ReNew the New to clean one third of the 37 miles of the New River in Giles County. This year they are focusing on the area from McCoy Falls to Pembroke and the event will be held on Saturday, August 25th.
Please come out and help us keep the New River flowing clear and clean and enjoy some time with your friends and family on the river.
Volunteers will meet at the Eastern Elementary in Giles at 9 am and will shuttle volunteers to sites and put them in boats, or have them join the land crew. Everyone will be off the river before noon and shuttled back to Eastern Elementary for a lunch, provided by Giles County. There will be T-shirts and great appreciation for all the volunteers.

ReNew sponsors two annual river clean-ups and welcomes anyone interested in protecting and renewing the beautiful New River.
