Gardner-Webb Honors Students Participate in cleanup of New River in West Jefferson, N.C.

This semester marked the return of the “Big Sweep,” an annual camping and retreat trip held by the Gardner-Webb University Honors Student Association (HSA) reminiscent of the national Beach Sweep. For more than two decades, Honors Students have partnered with organizations such as New River Conservancy in West Jefferson, N.C., New River State Park, Zaloo’s Canoes, Ashe County Administration, and New River Outfitters to cleanup local waterways.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/3291/thumbnail.jp
