Agricultural Best Management Practices--We assist landowners in the installation and cost of installing Livestock Exclusion Fences, Streambank Protection, Graveled or Concrete Feeding Areas, Watering Systems.

Streambank Protection--Our goal is to assist landowners in the long-term protection of the waters and wildlife of the Clinch and Powell Rivers.

Land Protection--We can financially assist you in the setting aside of a portion of your stream frontage for wildlife habitat and/or long term stream protection.

Education--We work with young and old to educate the public on the ways, benefits, and assistance available for reduction of water pollution. Booth for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency TWRA

Booth Highlighting Clinch-Powell RC&D Youth Environmental Educational Programs that include Appalachia Cares/ AmeriCorps, Water Wizards, Conservation Camp, and Envirothon.

Details about these programs on the learning resources page. the Booth for The Nature Conservancys Clinch Valley Program The (AQT) Appalachian Quilt Trail evolved from the Not Barn Yesterday program that began with two barn murals, one in Washburn, Grainger County and the other in Hancock County.  The idea was developed into the Appalachian Quilt Trail, modeled after a quilt trail of barns in Ohio.  Today the Appalachian Quilt Trail displays quilt squares on hundreds of barns and businesses throughout Middle and Upper East Tennessee.  The squares draw folks off the beaten path and also give an extra reason to polish up and preserve quaint old barns that may have fallen to disuse.  River Place on the Clinch is one of the newest stop along the trail.
Event organizers enjoy a relaxed moment to touch base at the end of the day. Folks head over to the River Place Market & Cafe for snacks on Earth Day. With Friends at River Place Market Crowd at River Place Market
