This document was prepared as a cooperative effort by personnel from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA), Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).

It is intended as a preliminary assessment of conservation needs for the newly created Tennessee Heritage Conservation Trust as they carry out the mandate outlined in TCA-11-7 to “assist the state in permanently conserving and preserving tracts of land within the state of Tennessee for the purposes of promoting tourism and recreation, including outdoor activities such as hunting and fishing; protecting, conserving and restoring the state’s physical, cultural, archeological, historical and environmental resources; and preserving working landscapes.”
