NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A global support program is returning to Music City for CMA Fest.

Red Frogs USA, is an Australian-based organization that came to Nashville last year for both CMA Fest and Fourth of July. The group works to avoid dangerous situations like intoxication or sexual assault at big events.

Last year, Red Frogs coordinated with almost 40 volunteers to hand out over 33,000 cups of water and charge nearly 2,000 phones

This year, they will have 100 trained volunteers and three support stations strategically placed across downtown: 

  • Bridgestone Arena Plaza 
  • Nissan Stadium 
  • In front of the Hard Rock Café 

Volunteer teams will also be on Broadway throughout the day and night looking out for attendees who may need help

Tennessee restores habitats to aid monarch butterflies amid endangered status threat

It's migratory season for billions of animals across the United States. That means millions of birds and butterflies will take a rest stop in Tennessee and Kentucky as they move south for winter. Tennessee state parks are working to create vital habitat for the migrating monarchs. You may be able to follow their lead around your home to help reverse a declining monarch population.
