Tennessee Birders,
I just wanted to alert you all to a little known situation.
Tenn. Wildlife Resources Agency is currently receiving YOUR comments on
managing the 70,000+ acres they recently obtained on either side of
Royal Blue WMA on the Cumberland Plateau.
At last count, the TWRA web page said that ONE person had commented that
they wanted to see the area managed for Cerulean Warblers!
As many of you know, this is a huge parcel of land surrounding the heart
of the region where Ceruleans breed. It was also one of TWRA's original
major goals to manage it for Ceruleans, Golden-Winged Warblers, and
Elk. This is also immediately adjacent to the area many of you visited
during the TOS State Meeting in May to see Ceruleans, Golden Wings, and
Swainson's Warblers.
I urge you to email TWRA a brief comment telling them what you think the
management priorities for the area should be. Dozens of ORV riders have
apparently already sent in their comments. But almost nothing from
birders! We need to speak out!
I realize this is mainly because of the lack of publicity about this
opportunity to let TWRA know you care about birds!
You may comment by accessing TWRA's web site--
http://www.state.tn.us/twra/
and going to the bottom of the list of "What's New" and clicking on
Sundquist WMA Draft Management Plan. Then simply click on Email and
write in your comment.
We only have today, tomorrow and Friday left to comment, so please do it
Today!
Thanks!
