McClemore Cove PreservedChattanoogan.com Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Commissioner Noel Holcomb and Georgia Land Conservation program (GLCP) Director Curt Soper joined conservation leaders and Walker County representatives today at a press conference to announce the collaborative acquisition of 1,839 acres of the McLemore Cove tract in Walker County. This property creates a corridor for wildlife and recreation by linking two state-owned tracts, Zahnd Natural Area (NA) and Crockford-Pigeon Mountain Wildlife Management Area (WMA). "As one of the southeast's most picturesque mountain valleys, the acquisition of McLemore Cove provides a unique opportunity to connect the several state-owned properties," said DNR Commissioner Holcomb. "The opportunity to protect this ecologically rich area is possible because of the generous partners who have joined with us in recognizing this valuable natural resource which will further our efforts to implement the State Wildlife Action Plan."
