The City of Lebanon, the Wilson County Stormwater Group and the Cumberland River Compact are teaming up with the Kiwanis during the Middle Tennessee Stream Clean Up Month. The groups will host a clean up on Saturday, April 24 from 9 a.m. until noon. This will be the fourth annual stream clean-up season for the city. The clean up staging area will be at the Jimmy Floyd Family Center off Castle Heights Avenue in Lebanon.

This year, the Kiwanis approached the city with a desire to participate in Lebanon's vast environmental outreach programs.

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time. Helping the community by cleaning up the environment, Kiwanis representatives said, is a perfect way to improve the world for children. Local Kiwanis members chose this opportunity during the Kiwanis One Day, an effort to improve communities by working "One Day" with other clubs across the world.

"Protecting the environment with innovative partnerships and projects is a priority for the city," James Vaden, Lebanon's Stormwater Coordinator, said. "We appreciate the efforts of our partners, including Kiwanis, for making these clean ups a success, year after year."
