The Interpretive and Recreation Program Plan shall be reviewed bi-annually in August of even-numbered years; however, the interpretive action plan process will take place at the park level every five years. Date of next review: August 2020 Duly adopted and approved by: Deputy Commissioner of Parks Conservation Date 41Page Mission & Vision From its beginning in 1937, Tennessee State Parks were established to protect and preserve the unique natural, cultural and historic resources of Tennessee. The public interest has also been served by a variety of benefits for citizens and communities produced by our state park system, promoting stronger communities and healthier citizens across the state through diverse resource-based recreation while conserving the natural environment for today and tomorrow – preserving authentic Tennessee places and spaces for future generations to enjoy. As stewards of the resources in our parks, we seek to manage Tennessee’s state parks in order to preserve and protect valued resources and to provide a balance of services and benefits for the enjoyment of the people. Mission To preserve and protect, in perpetuity, unique examples of natural, cultural, and scenic areas and provide a variety of safe, quality, outdoor experiences through a well-planned and professionally managed system of state parks. Vision and Values We believe there is inherent value in the natural environment. We believe that the observation and experience of natural things in a setting removed from the hectic world of the day-to-day can uplift and re-create the human spirit. We also believe there is value in physical reminders of our past. Without history, there is nothing upon which to base our understanding of the present or our dreams of the future. Our natural and cultural resources provide context and continuity to our lives and help to make us whole. The intrinsic worth of these resources is beyond monetary consideration. We so value these things that we intend to preserve and protect them, even in the face of whatever may be the fashion of the moment, to the end that all citizens, rich or poor, may enjoy them forever. 6 | Page EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Tennessee State Park system is operated by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), under the Bureau of Parks and Conservation (Bureau). TDEC is organized and administered to effectively protect human health and the environment, conserve natural resources, manage state parks and promote overall quality of life in Tennessee. The Bureau manages 56 state parks and 85 state natural areas encompassing more than 240,000 acres across Tennessee - ranging from rustic natural and historic sites to resort parks with 6 inns, 8 restaurants, 4 marinas and the 9 golf courses on the Tennessee Golf Trail. We feature more than 3,000 campsites in 35 park campgrounds while offering interpretative and resource-based recreation activities, including birding, biking, fishing, hiking and swimming. In addition to protecting natural resources and providing outdoor recreational opportunities for Tennesseans, Tennessee State Parks are economic engines, pumping millions of dollars into local economies and creating thousands of jobs. Tennessee State Parks drew more than 37 million visitors in 2014. The Bureau is also responsible for conserving and promoting the historical, natural and archaeological heritage of Tennessee through the Division of Archaeology and the State Archaeologist’s office. We strengthen communities by providing funding support and technical assistance to local governments for local parks and recreation programs through our Division of Recreation Educational Services (RES). Tennessee State Parks was established in 1937 to protect and preserve the unique natural, cultural and historic resources of Tennessee. Tennessee State Parks’ mission is: “To preserve and protect, in perpetuity, unique examples of natural, cultural, and scenic areas and provide a variety of safe, quality, outdoor experiences through a well-planned and professionally managed system of state parks.” Since 2011, in an effort to provide a better visitor experience, Tennessee State Parks has renovated or constructed more than 30 park facilities across the state, including 10 campgrounds and made ADA upgrades at four parks. Highlights of recent park additions include a new Visitors Center at Bledsoe Creek State Park, a new Group Camp at Booker T. Washington State Park and a converted Interpretive Center at Cumberland Mountain State Park. Visitation at Tennessee State Parks has increased by nearly 15 percent, thanks in part to enhanced interpretive programming and unique recreation excursions through Tennessee’s

  • Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment
    Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment Report and Guidebook Prepared for: Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Prepared by: Jennings Environmental, LLC December 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report includes reference stream morphology and large woody debris data collected throughout Tennessee in 2015-2017. Hydraulic geometry data are presented as regional curves for Ecoregions 66, 67, 68/69, 71, and 65/74 to support stream assessment and restoration planning. Morphology relationships describe bankfull channel dimensions, pattern, and profile measurements in relation to channel-forming discharge and watershed drainage area. Large woody debris (LWD) data collected at reference streams serve as an indicator of natural stream conditions in forested floodplains. These databases and relationships are valuable for assessing disturbed streams to evaluate degree of departure from equilibrium, selecting and planning restoration projects to improve natural stream functions, and monitoring changes in stream conditions in undisturbed and restored stream systems. These databases should be supplemented with additional information collected during site assessment and restoration planning to improve understanding of local stream conditions throughout Tennessee. The morphology data collection included 114 undisturbed streams ranging in width from 3 to 132 feet with watershed drainage areas ranging from 0.02 to 117 square miles. Wherever available, United States Geological Survey (USGS) gage station sites were surveyed to provide long-term hydrologic information close to the reference stream. Bankfull stage indicators at a USGS gage provided the opportunity to quantify the channel-forming discharge and exceedance probability of this flow event. For reference streams with no gages, natural equilibrium stream segments with clearly identifiable incipient-floodplain bankfull stage indicators were surveyed to determine morphology parameters.
