VOLbreaks and Wounded Nature-Working Veterans Team Up to Clean Up.

Wounded Nature-Working Veterans partnered with the University of Tennessee Jones Center for Leadership and Service VOLbreaks program to clean up marine debris from the waterways around Charleston, South Carolina. VOLbreaks provides service opportunities for students during college breaks, and eight UT VOLs came out today to help us make a real coastal difference! We removed debris from a tidal marsh and island on the Intracoastal waterway – most of the debris was treated wood and fiberglass which are both harmful to marine life. Thanks to local volunteers Chad Taylor and Chris Owens for assisting with boat transport and cleanup duties! Today also was the first ‘on the job’ cleanup for our new boat powered by a #Yamaha VF115 – the boat and engine performed perfectly for shallow water cleanup.
