| Woods
Wonders and Wildlife--The Cumberland Plateau Nature Trail |
| |
The Alliance for the Cumberlands is pleased to announce the
completion of the "Woods, Wonders, and Wildlife-The Cumberland
Plateau Nature Trail" website. You can view the website at
www.woodswondersandwildlife.com
Over the next few weeks you will be hearing more about this
website. However, it would not have been possible without the
combined effort of all of you! The project has benefited from
countless volunteer hours from our State and Federal Partners, and
from non-profits, private businesses, and individuals throughout the
region. We have put to use local photography, and relied on
partners for drafting and editing the content. Additionally, we
have received funding from TWRA's Watchable Wildlife program, from
TDEC's RTP Education Fund, from the National Migratory Bird
Conservation Act, and from the Benwood Foundation. We will continue
to promote the trail though our recent grant from the USDA Rural
Development program. The end result is something I think we can all
be proud of!
