The FOWV has received a grant from Tennessee Wildlife Resources.
The purpose of the grant is to promote riparian tree planting for the environment of Cove Creek.
We are looking for volunteers to help plant these trees!

The Friends of Wears Valley has added a new bulletin board!
It is a great place to discuss local news or to post a lost and found.

We, the Hillside and Ridges committee are submitting to the County Commission the Planning Packet on Thursday this week. The new Statutes will be written than and submitted to the full County Commissioners next month. We have worked over a year, meetings every two weeks, on this and have finally listened to all objections. There is another Committee we will meet on Wednesday at the Gattlinburg Convention Center from 8:30 to 12 to make sure we have everything from all the public.
The Homestead Subdivision was used as a model for many arguments. The Deed restrictions were used as examples. We thank Naterra Land for their foresight when starting Homestead.
If you have not viewed the Planning Packet, it is now available for download in Microsoft Word format (.doc):
