Greetings,
A couple of quick news items this morning:
Friends Volunteer Work Day April 26 at 10 AM CDT
Members of the Friends of South Cumberland are invited to
gather April 26 at Grundy Forest (Fiery Gizzard
Trailhead) for the
organization’s first trail maintenance project in
partnership with the
Tennessee Trails Association.
Volunteers will gather at 10 a.m. at the Grundy Forest
pavilion. Tools will be provided, but everyone is asked to
bring gloves and wear work clothes and boots or hiking
shoes. A picnic lunch will be served about 1:30 PM. After
lunch you can hike or depart at your convenience.
Park Ranger Anthony Jones will direct the project, which he
has divided into two parts, removing privet and clearing
rocks where the trail has eroded. He said the work will not
be strenuous.
Persons who plan to attend are asked to call
Latham Davis at
931-598-5101 or send an email to
lathamdavis@bellsouth.net.
Last Guided Wildflower Hike of the Season

Meet Mary Priestley at the Collins West parking lot for
a hike on the Collins West Trail.
Hike Volunteers
The Friends are coordinating trips to Savage Gulf for 5th
graders planned for 4 days coming up soon. We are looking
for one or more Friends members to accompany the trips April
24, May 1, and May 5. Requirements are to be at the Savage
Gulf Ranger Station and hike to Savage Falls (4 miles round
trip) on a ranger-led hike with the 5th graders, their
teachers, and some parents. You'd be going as the
representative of the Friends, and would be great if you
could take some pictures.
If you are interested please contact Mary Priestley
