LAWRENCE CO., Tenn (WTVF) — Various roadways and trails will be temporarily closed due to logging operations, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).
Here is a map of the closures and caution areas that Laurel Hill Wildlife Management Area staff provided:
TWRA encouraged any visitors to review the map before visiting Laurel Hill.
The logging operations require heavy equipment and trucks, which is why some areas are temporarily off limits.
They added that the logging operations being conducted are vital to the region and ultimately "maintain diverse habitat across the landscape, benefits game and non-game wildlife alike, and supports healthy wildlife populations for the long term."
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
