Warriors’ Path Park and Friends of Warriors’ Path State Park is again joining hands with different organizations and individuals (churches, businesses, civic clubs, youth groups, individuals, etc.) to host a “VOLUNTEER” Work Day – Saturday, March 28th
This volunteer day is part of a much larger restoration initiative.
(Park staff will be removing an obsolete tennis court, creating a vibrant pollinator garden, planting native trees and revitalizing historic picnic areas and creating new ones.),
These improvements will help us uphold the high standard of care we strive for in Tennessee State Parks and ensure Duck Island remans a beautiful, sustainable space for generations to come. This effort is an important step in restoring native biodiversity and creating a healthier ecosystem for wildlife and visitors
