Volunteers needed for the American Battlefield Trust’s Park Day! We’ll be clearing brush, trimming limbs, and sprucing up the landscape surrounding Brown’s Ferry Tavern, a witness structure to the Civil War Campaign for Chattanooga and the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail. During the cleanup, CCNMP Historian, Jim Ogden, will discuss both the Civil War as well as the Cherokee history associated with Brown’s Ferry Tavern.

Volunteers need to bring their own work gloves as well as tools such as loppers and saws for cutting brush and limbs. Dress appropriately for the weather conditions with comfortable, closed-toed shoes. In case of inclement weather, Park Day will be Saturday, March 21.
