Restore the Green River After Hurricane Helene

The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene at the Green River is hard to comprehend. Green River residents have not only lost their homes and belongings, but the land beneath them has been stripped away. The landscape has been forever changed.

Our grassroots fundraiser could never raise enough money to replace homes and put in infrastructure we can give back to the community that has always welcomed us with open arms. We are dedicating 100% of the funds raised to the restoration of the Green River. While agencies will handle road repairs and power restoration, it's up to us to help restore the area itself properly. This means removing houses and cars from logjams, retrieving trailers from treetops, and reintroducing native vegetation. Our first priority is to remove trash and debris from the river and its banks, which includes building materials, vehicles lodged in trees, and trailers scattered along the shores. We'll be renting large equipment and dumpsters for this effort. Extensive water quality testing will be conducted, and any pollutant sources will be addressed. We will also plant trees and restore river access points.
