The program will be presented by Dr. Jeffrey Walck from the Biology Department at Middle Tennessee State University. Dr. Walck is a plant ecologist and conservation biologist whose research focuses on seed ecology and climate change effects on plant regeneration. He is also an accomplished birder with checklists from around the world.
Cabin 13 is centrally located in the park, but easily overlooked. Once you enter the park continue on past the Park Office (on your right after you enter the park) until you come to a fork in the road. Turn right onto WPA Road and continue on past the old rock Cedar Lodge (also on your right). After crossing two speed bumps on WPA Road, look for the shaded playground on your left. Turn left onto the gravel drive next to the shaded playground, and Cabin 13 will be the first cabin on your right.
