Mack Prichard's Video Presentations


Photos by Ron Castle

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.
