| 释义 |
Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation is a non-profit land trust, established in 1998 to protect natural and scenic land in Tennessee.[1] It is accredited by the Land Trust Alliance's Land Trust Accreditation Commission.[2][3] The foundation is supported by membership donations, individual philanthropy, and gifts of land from private landowners. The foundation's mission is to conserve natural monuments such as waterfalls, bluffs and caves. Conservation of such features usually creates relatively small reserves that are not environmentally sustainable in isolation, so the foundation also aims to create corridors of conserved land to link these features and larger reserves (such as national parks and state parks), which are also called greenways.[4] AcquisitionsStillhouse Hollow Falls, a {{convert|90|acre}} tract including a {{convert|75|foot}} waterfall, was acquired by the foundation in 2006 for $130,000 ({{Inflation|US|130,000|2006|fmt=eq}}). The tract was sold to the State of Tennessee for $97,500 ({{Inflation|US|97,500|2006|fmt=eq}}) for perpetual preservation as a natural reserve.[5][6]Randolph Park Historic Park was established by the foundation in 2008 from the $378,000 ({{Inflation|US|378,000|2008|fmt=eq}}) purchase of {{convert|19|acre}} of the second Chickasaw Bluff by the Mississippi River.[7] The intention is to expand this to {{convert|1000|acre}} along the Mississippi River through further acquisitions financed by gifts and government grants.[8]In 2010, the foundation established Cummins Falls State Park, a day-use park of {{convert|211|acre}} including a {{convert|75|foot}} waterfall popular for its natural swimming hole.[9][10] The natural pool was named by Travel + Leisure as one of America's best swimming holes.[11] In 2017, the foundation entered into a conservation easement with Swan Conservation Trust to permanently preserve {{convert|1358|acre}} of forest known as the Big Swan Headwaters Preserve, adjacent to The Farm in Lewis County, Tennessee.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|title=TennGreen - Land Trust - Protecting Tennessee's natural treasures|url=http://www.tenngreen.org/about|website=tenngreen.org|accessdate=16 February 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Nearly Three Dozen More Land Trusts Achieve Accreditation|url=http://www.landtrustalliance.org/nearly-three-dozen-more-land-trusts-achieve-accreditation|website=landtrustalliance.org|accessdate=16 February 2017|date=5 August 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Accredited Land Trusts|url=http://www.landtrustaccreditation.org/storage/downloads/AccreditedLandTrusts.pdf|website=Land Trust Accreditation Commission|accessdate=16 February 2017|date=2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Williams|first1=Kathleen|title=Tennessee needs greater emphasis on conservation|url=http://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/contributors/2016/05/24/tennessee-needs-greater-emphasis-conservation/84817982/|website=The Tennessean|accessdate=16 February 2017|language=en|date=24 May 2016}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Paine|first1=Anne|title=Treasured land is protected|url=http://www.brentwoodgreenspace.com/articles/landtrusttennesseanarticle.pdf|accessdate=16 February 2017|work=The Tennessean|date=14 January 2007}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Stillhouse Hollow Falls Class I Scenic-Recreational State Natural Area|url=http://www.tennessee.gov/environment/article/na-na-stillhouse-hollow-falls/|website=tennessee.gov|accessdate=16 February 2017|language=en}} 7. ^{{cite web|last1=Drake Silence|first1=Sherri|title=Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation dedicates Randolph Bluff Historic Park in Tipton County : Millington Tipton|url=http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/oct/10/nonprofit-dedicates-randolph-park/|website=Memphis Commercial Appeal|accessdate=16 February 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120200639/http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/oct/10/nonprofit-dedicates-randolph-park/|archivedate=20 November 2008|date=20 November 2008}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Charlier|first1=Tom|title=Good looks: Conservation efforts making a scene of Mississippi's bluff-top vistas|url=http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2010/jul/25/good-looks-r|website=Memphis Commercial Appeal|accessdate=16 February 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100728231727/http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2010/jul/25/good-looks-r|archivedate=28 July 2010|date=25 July 2010}} 9. ^{{cite web|last1=Wilson|first1=Jessica|title=Southern Wanderings|url=http://www.southernwanderings.com/2010_08_01_archive.html|website=southernwanderings.com|accessdate=16 February 2017|date=31 August 2010}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Cummins Falls State Park|url=http://www.tnstateparks.com/parks/about/cummins-falls|website=Tennessee State Parks|accessdate=16 February 2017}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Bruneau|first1=Alice|title=Cummins Falls, Cookeville, TN|url=http://www.travelandleisure.com/slideshows/americas-best-swimming-holes/9|website=Travel + Leisure|accessdate=16 February 2017}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Big Swan Headwaters conserved for future generations|url=http://www.heraldchronicle.com/big-swan-headwaters-conserved-for-future-generations/|accessdate=3 June 2017|work=Herald Chronicle|publisher=Lakeway Publishers, Inc.|date=31 May 2017|location=Summertown, TN|language=en}} 4 : Land trusts in the United States|Environmental organizations based in Tennessee|Environmental organizations established in 1998|1998 establishments in Tennessee |
