Meet us at the boat ramp on Oak Grove Road for a much needed trash cleanup and invasive removal.
Oak Grove Ramp has been managed by TVA and as of this year will transfer management over to Norris Dam State Park. We have a lot of plans for this area to boost recreation and lake access, but we have to start at the bottom to get there. This area has a lot of trash and invasive plants that need removed, and that's where we need your help!
Meet at the boat ramp at 10:00am- please dress appropriately and bring a lunch (or plan on going to nearby Rocky Top for lunch). We will work till the job is done, so if you can not come at 10:00am but are available in the afternoon, give us a call to see if we're still working and you can join us later!
