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. Each person should also bring a lunch and extra water.

The day won’t be all work. There will be an opportunity for some hiking. A program about wild turkeys will be followed by a picnic supper at the pavilion sponsored by the Friends.

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.

New Photos Now On the Website

The new photo section of the Friends website is now online.  We are ready for more content.  Check out Eric Dempsey's work from all around the Park.

We also have an armchair wildflower tour online for those who like to see the flowers this time of year but might not be able to make it into Collins Gulf.

Cheers,

Ron Castle
