Please see the following note from Roger McCoy, TN Div. of  Natural Areas. Of 
special interest to Chattanooga and Knoxville area  birders.

Richard:
 
Yesterday I had the chance to visit Sweetwater Marsh; I was part of a  group 
meeting to discuss conservation plans for the site.  The site  contains two 
state-listed plants and although is surrounded by development is a  decent 
wetland in the Ridge and Valley.  
 
Can you place an inquiry with the birding community as to whether some TOS  
members have visited the site, and/or if some notes were published in The  
Migrant?  I searched the online TN bird Freelist, but was unable  to find any 
information on this site.  I know that Alcoa Marshes  contain some interesting 
birds, so I was curious about the site in  Sweetwater.
 
The landowner indicated folks are welcome to visit the site, so if a TOS  
member wishes, I would be happy to provide more information.
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Roger
