Our mission at Cleaner Creeks is to create cool gear for cool people, all while supporting local nonprofits and volunteer groups.
Why Cleaner Creeks?
While many may call us “Local Unicorns” this family prefers the allure of Bigfoot. Inspired by 10th generation WNC roots, our family and love for the area’s natural beauty, we started Cleaner Creeks as a way to give back.
While there are multiple amazing nonprofits and volunteer groups that support the miles upon miles of rivers, there wasn’t a unified way to support them all. Cleaner Creeks is here to change that!
We established Cleaner Creeks to tackle the constant negative impacts that rivers like the French Broad River face. Many creeks and rivers are littered with trash from summertime tourists’ municipal wastes, and hazardous chemical dumping. It has been stated that “dilution is the solution for pollution” in reality, it only leads to water pollution. This pollution not only affects the aquatic life but also threatens the safety of those tubers, kayakers, and others using the waterways. With the health of the river and its regular users in mind, we started Cleaner Creeks to create awareness and give back to the local heroes who work for different non-profits or volunteer groups who work to keep these rivers clean.
Cleaner Creek’s is here to provide quality gear as a means to help support those who are on the frontline of keeping the waterways safe and clean.
Spanning over 200 miles from Rosman, NC to Knoxville, TN the French Broad River is a natural wonder that deserves our protection.
