“I am delighted to serve as the honorary chair for this outstanding event in support of the work of the Friends of South Cumberland, on behalf of Tennessee’s largest and most biologically significant state park,” Haskell said. “Even as the park is growing, daunting challenges face those who care for it, interpret its amazing natural assets, and help provide visitors with an enlightening and safe park experience. The Goldenrod Gala is a wonderful opportunity for those who care about South Cumberland State Park to show their support and give back to an area that has enriched so many of our lives.
Please join me in generously supporting this important event.” Haskell is the best-selling author of The Songs of Trees: Stories from Nature’s Great Connectors (Viking, 2017) and The Forest Unseen (Viking, 2012). The Forest Unseen was the winner of the 2013 Best Book Award from the National Academies, finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction, winner of the 2013 Reed Environmental Writing Award and the 2012 National Outdoor Book Award for Natural History Literature. |
