The state department of conservation began restoring land and pines in the Savage Gulf State Natural Area in Beersheba Springs, just over two hours southeast of Nashville. The goal was to protect the federally threatened white fringeless orchid, a two-foot tall plant featuring a cluster of white petals resembling small figures with arms outstreached.

With state and federal funding, conservation crews began land restoration on about 1,200 acres.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency announced a plan to reintroduce the red-cockaded woodpecker to the state.

8 Most Breathtaking Towns In Tennessee

Surrounded by South Cumberland State Park, Tracy City is an excellent basecamp for exploring Tennessee’s backcountry. Covering more than 12,000 acres, the park features highlights near town such as Grundy Lakes, known for swimming, fishing, picnicking, and hiking, as well as the Fiery Gizzard Trail, a 12.5-mile route linking Foster Falls with Grundy Forest. Before heading out for the day, travelers can grab breakfast at the Dutch Maid Bakery, which is the oldest family-owned bakery in the state, serving handmade sandwiches, pancakes, French toast, omelets, cinnamon rolls, and more.
