Saving our Hardwoods
Please help us work to save the hardwoods in the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area for present and future generations. Will you consider signing the petition to save our hardwoods from being harvested at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflavN4JIaw4nN18fYF3-pw9GMYYo2-D5D5Di6kB0hF7uF1SQ/viewform.
An informational meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 8, at 6:00 pm at the Community Complex. Marvin Bullock from the White County Chamber of Commerce will give a very helpful presentation on how to make your voices heard. His work to save the Bridgestone-Firestone Wilderness area of White County has given him a wealth of information to share that we can apply to the work to stop clear-cutting on Catoosa. Representatives from the TWRA have also been invited via email and certified letter.
