Education

The Clinch River Chapter is interested in educating the citizens of Anderson County regarding  the significance of the Clinch River watershed. We believe it is important to educate our youth regarding the proper stewardship of natural resources, particularly aquatic habitats. Toward that end the Clinch River Chapter is working with the youth of Anderson County to enhance their understanding of aquatic biology and natural resource stewardship.
