Hike to Foster Falls with Naturalist Randy Hedgepath
Come join us on an outing to one of the Cumblerland Plateau's most scenic places. Beyond the breathtaking camera opportunities, Foster Falls is home to a vibrant forest community. Tennessee state naturalist Randy Hedgepath will lead us on an exploration of the unique ecology of the region's waterfall habitats, where many uncommon and endemic species live. We'll get started at 10 EST/9CST (the site is in central time!) at the Foster Falls trailhead. At only a 45 minute drive ftrom downtown Chattanooga, this is a great opportunity to enjoy the fall colors and see a celebrated part of the region's scenic beauty. As a land recovering from the days of extensive fossil fuel mining, the Cumberland Plateau is becoming more and more a focal point for conservation. The area around Foster Falls, Fall Creek Falls, and Savage Gulf are getting discovered by outdoors enthusiasts who marvel a their scenic beauty.
