This week, Friends of the Tugfork River will be holding its tire tug-of-war river cleanup event on Tuesday, September 20th and Thursday, September 22nd at 9am. Monday, Mountain Top spoke with Friends of Tugfork River Representative John Birchett about their cleanup efforts, and how you can help. We've been pulling tires out of the river here in Williamson since 2019. We've recovered 5,099 within the city limits of Williamson. We're well over 6,000 through the length of the river, but right here in Williamson, we've got a really large concentration of tires that we're trying to clean up. Tomorrow, 9am, we'll be right here where I'm standing, getting in the water with the West Virginia DEP Reeve and some local volunteers, some local agencies, and we need some more people to come out and help us. This is a project that is a long time into making and it's going to take a long time to finish, but every year we knock a little bit out of it and every year we get a little bit closer to a cleaner river. With the goal of preserving the river and enhancing tourism, efforts will help maintain many of Williamson's activities such as a river's fishing presence. The Tugfork River is a tremendous smallmouth bass fishery. We have a lot of people that enjoy fishing on it and it's a beautiful river too and people enjoy floating. One problem that we have are all these tires that have been in the river for decades and it's time to get rid of them. Again, the river cleanup event will be held Tuesday, September 20th at 9am and Thursday, September 22nd at 9am. Volunteers can enter the river from the South Williamson flood wall, walking track, or at the staging area. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Korgel.
