Chattanooga Dept of Parks and Outdoors Park Steward Program to Host Naturepact Day Sat Sept 24th

Conservation efforts in the South Cumberland region have made significant progress this year. Working alongside local land trusts, state agencies, and community volunteers, we've seen meaningful steps toward protecting the natural heritage of this irreplaceable landscape.

Educational outreach remains a cornerstone of our conservation strategy. By introducing young people to the natural world through guided hikes, nature journaling workshops, and citizen science projects, we cultivate the next generation of environmental stewards. Several schools in the region have adopted outdoor classrooms adjacent to protected natural areas.
