Don't Mess With Tennessee Parks!!!

From Fran Wallas, TDEC ace attorney June 7, 2010: We got a default judgment for $57,800 against the three individuals who removed the many hemlocks from the natural area. I am turning the judgment over to a collection agency. At this time, we cannot find any assets held by the defendants. This judgment was a result of the civil case that we filed. The three individuals already had been found guilty in a criminal case and were fined, served jail time and were required to do community service. I hope that these cases at SCSRA will be a deterrent to others who think digging plants on state property is an easy way to earn money.
 

At the Friends Annual Meeting June 12

Congratulations to this year's James D. Prince Award recipient, Mr. Rex Boner, Vice President of the Southeast for the Conservation Fund.  Rex has been responsible for much of the behind the scenes work bringing all the parties together to make the acquisition of the Fiery Gizzard possible, and so much more.  Congratulations, Rex!

Who We Are & What We Do

The Friends of South Cumberland State Recreation Area, Inc. is a group of 100-percent volunteer citizens dedicated to supporting the South Cumberland State Recreation Area, Tennessee's largest state wilderness park. Some of our goals are:

  • To educate the public about the unique qualities of the Park

  • To promote the use of the Park as an environmental, wilderness and biodiversity resource

  • To encourage the development of the Park to meet the recreational needs of park visitors and area residents

  • To work with the Park to develop and implement plans to protect and preserve the unique wilderness and recreational resource that the South Cumberland State Recreation Area represents, including the acquisition of property and conservation easements

  • To preserve biodiversity and a true wilderness experience for current and future generations

As a non-profit membership corporation Friends of South Cumberland funding is derived from individual and corporate memberships and from private donations. Our group was founded in 1993 and our tax deductible status is approved as of July, 1994. We are a 501(c)3 non profit public benefit corporation and your membership and donations are Federal tax deductible.

A 1993 law passed by the Tennessee General Assembly allows state parks to contract with and receive financial assistance from a friends group organized according to the law. Now, private citizens can be involved and support the park through volunteer work and financial donations.

Please join us in supporting and protecting the South Cumberland State Recreation Area. Members will receive our newsletter, can participate in Friends of South Cumberland meetings and serve on committees and special park projects.

Join today, the park needs your support!
