The Little River Chapter logged 3,457 volunteer hours during the past year which is a 90% increase in volunteer hours from the previous year. Maybe more impressive than the overall total is 53 members participated in one or more volunteer activities including GSMNP Fisheries Projects, Trout in the Classroom, and Stream Clean-Ups. LRCTU members provided 71% (1,469 hours) of the total volunteer effort contributed to the Fisheries Department of GSMNP which supports our charter to conserve, protect and restore the cold water fisheries and their watersheds in and around the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Thank you for your commitment to our volunteer efforts which are at the very heart of the Little River Chapter.
