When it comes to cleaning our waterways, stormwater management is one of the most important means. "Green Infrastructure" such as detention and retention ponds are critical features that prevent street flooding and contain litter and absorb pollutants that otherwise would flow into our natural waterways. These ponds require a lot of maintenance or else stormwater overflow will occur and impact receiving streams, bayous and rivers. Therefore, volunteers are needed to help St. Tammany pick up litter and remove invasive plants from the Tenant Pond in order to keep the French Branch waterbody from becoming polluted. French Branch flows into the Pearl River so the impact of the cleanup will spread wide and far.

As part of our annual Fall Citywide Cleanup event we will be holding a Bayou Cleanup at Heritage Park.
