SCRLT Bluebell Island Ramble, March 23
The South Cumberland Regional Land Trust (SCRLT) will be hosting the annual Bluebell Island Ramble starting at 10 a.m., on Saturday, March 23.
Meet on the Elk River side of the driveway to Tyson Foods (13811 David Crockett Highway/US Hwy. 64 just south of I-24 exit 127) and we’ll walk approximately 1/4 mile along the river and explore the spring wildflowers and new growth on Bluebell Island. All ages are welcome.
Please note that the crossing to the island usually involves a temporary bridge arranged on a log with rope handholds, but please don’t let concerns about your or others’ ability to cross the bridge deter you from coming. We’ll do everything we can to assist and there is a lot to enjoy even of you cant get across to the island.
Founded in 1993, SCRLT’s mission is to conserve and protect ecologically unique land in the South Cumberland region. Bluebell Island was acquired in 1996 and was SCRLT’s first land conservation initiative off the Plateau protecting the delicate wildflower habitat on the island.
