Wartburg Cumberland trail expansion

In April 2025, TennGreen Land Conservancy acquired approximately 58 acres near Wartburg to expand the Justin P. Wilson Cumberland Trail State Park and the Cumberland Trail. This important acquisition strengthens the long-term vision of connecting Tennessee’s first linear park from the Morgan County Visitor Center to Frozen Head State Park.

The newly acquired property lies within several significant conservation planning areas, including the Catoosa, Frozen Head, and Upper Cumberland Areas of Interest (as designated by the Heritage Conservation Trust Fund) and the Catoosa/Emory River Conservation Opportunity Area. It also provides vital habitat for high-priority species including green salamanders.

This park expansion also lies within one of TennGreen’s strategic focal areas—the Emory watershed—and was made possible through a generous grant from The Nature Conservancy, via Justin P. Wilson.

The Justin P. Wilson Cumberland Trail State Park stretches more than 300 miles across eastern Tennessee and is envisioned to one day run from Cumberland Gap National Historical Park to Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. Each land protection project helps bring this vision closer to reality, while also preserving Tennessee’s diverse natural heritage for future generations.

The full True story Behind The Corruption & Cover-Ups Exhisting within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Police Adminsitration at Captain James Lovell FHCC, And Who has Helped?   Just recently many if not most employees were easily made aware of the wrongdoing regarding employee Civil Rights who were and are violated by a certain high-ranking member of the VA Police Department who is a trained Federal Law Enforcement Officer located at Captain James Lovell FHCC.

Tennessee Department of Corrections salaries of liars

Image
Let me tell you about TDOC and how it is being ran. They have money they are just putting it in the wrong place. They would rather show the Office of Inspector General during an inspection a fully staffed and functioning facility. When in reality the day after inspection buildings are left with two officers running it when there should be four. They write up officers who do a job that can be dangerous and do what they can to go home to their families and children. Yet the administration that has never worked as an officer or never step foot in a prison in Nashville tie the facility administrators hands. They write up officers who violate policies to ensure they and their fellow officers go home. Yet there is no disciplinary action for the bosses who violate policy. But those bosses will seek disciplinary actions against the officer who is doing the best they can. In 2023, Frank Strada earned $221,400 by working as a Commissioner 3 at the Tennessee Department of Correction. His salary w...
