2018 TRBN Awards

Multiple partners are working together to host and facilitate the 4th annual “Tennessee River Basin Network” meeting in August 2018. Our focus is on bringing peer agencies and nonprofit organizations together to protect and improve aquatic biodiversity in the Tennessee River Basin by identifying and leveraging opportunities for collaboration and sharing resources.
We continue the tradition of linking the working Network meeting with the 2018 Tennessee River Celebration Awards Banquet. This celebration will recognize successes and efforts of dedicated advocates for the Tennessee River, such as non-profit organizations, community groups, watershed partners. An award of $5,000 will be given to each recipient.
