Cumberland River Watershed Maps

The Cumberland River Compact is, in my opinion, one of the most effective nonprofit organizations in the country when it comes to effective outreach and educating citizens to take ownership of their local water resources.

We were their webmaster back in the good old days in the last century and helped them improve their performance on the Internet to the point that they were ready to do it themselves.

I have many good photographs of natural subjects in Tennessee, the one to the right being of Greeter Falls (Piney Creek & Firescald Creek) in the South Cumberland State Recreation Area, Tennessee's largest state wilderness park.

This photo also made it in the Patagonia 2008 calendar as a thumbnail on the June page for the Dogwood Alliance entry.

The Compact used three of my photos in their new Collins River Watershed Map and I was pleased both to be asked and to be able to donate their use.

Clean water and and streams that are clean enough to swim in and clean enough to fish are a precious resource that we can preserve, protect and restore if we so choose. If you want to know how to do this for your part of the world, look at the Compact's website. Yes they can and yes they are.
