NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Montgomery County and State Capitol reporter Chris Davis has been named Conservation Communicator of the Year by the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.
The federation presented the honor Friday during its Conservation Achievement Awards, recognizing Davis for his in-depth reporting on two major conservation issues: the debate over damming the Duck River and funding challenges at the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
