You can't be around South
Cumberland or any other Tennessee State Park for very long
without seeing this gentleman who has been Tennessee's State
Naturalist and most eloquent spokesman for all things
related to the modern history of conservation in Tennessee.
To know Mack is to love him unless you are not being nice to
Mother Nature.
Mack has been in demand
as a speaker to groups all across Tennessee and elsewhere
for almost 40 years. He is in the process of retiring
from over 40 years of service to the State of Tennessee.
Mack and Mr. Ben Cagle
from Chattanooga have teamed up to record some of Mack's
presentations, the first one of which is Mack's talk about
the history of Savage Gulf and the founding of the South
Cumberland State Recreation Area presented in Beersheba
Springs a short distance from the Stone Door. The
video is over 40 minutes in length. There is a trailer
following Mack's presentation produced and narrated by Ben.

We hope to have more of
Mack's presentations online before too long.
