*Saturday, December 12, 2009, 8:30 a.m.* *River Bluff in Knoxville* *Leader: Wayne H. Schacher* (Home: 865-457-4355) whschacher@xxxxxxxxxxxxx *Carol Evans with Legacy Parks Foundation will be joining the group. *KTOS has permission via Legacy Parks Foundation to hike and bird behind a gate on a woodland parcel of property which includes the River Bluff overlook in South Knoxville. This property is part of LPF's "*Urban Wildlife & Historic Corridor*" project. Woodland habitats predominate, but the parcel also includes a couple of large ponds and a low elevation trail along Fort Loudon Reservoir. We will be able to view downtown Knoxville and the river from the spectacular River Bluff overlook. A gem along the South Knoxville waterfront, our birding inventory will lend support and value to LPF's completion of this project. Roadways offer good hiking, with many route options. *Directions: From the Knoxville interstates, take US Highway 129, exit at UT Hospital/Cherokee Trail, follow Cherokee Trail uphill past condo complexes to a parking area (on the left) near the blue water tower. *Billie Cantwell Knoxville, TN* * =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
