Organizers with Chattanooga-based GreenSteps, along with The Wilderness Society, will host a cleanup event on Saturday at the Tennessee RiverPark. Locals can help pick up trash at the Chickamauga Dam from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Food and supplies will be provided. Volunteers should wear closed toed shoes and appropriate clothing.
