Tennessee wildlife management areas (WMA’s) provide safe and well-managed regions for hunters of all types. The state has created four WMA Regions and enacted hunting regulations to ensure the sustainability of hunting wildlife. Through licensing, permits, education, and managed hunts, Tennessee’s WMA Regions are self-sustainable.
Zoning outlines land uses to prevent urban growth from creating adverse conditions. Zoning should result in patterns that are harmonious with the surrounding areas. Historically, the preference for mixed uses is the reason why zoning laws fail to achieve their goals.
The State of Tennessee is rich in water resources; thousands of miles of rivers, creeks, and streams wind their routes throughout the three Grand Divisions of Tennessee. The state’s waterways are the spines of our communities; here, we fish, swim, and paddle those majestic waterways. The rivers, lakes, and brooks sustain dynamic ecosystems that species of wildlife require to flourish.
