Over 50 members of TOS convened in Clarksville for the fall meeting this past
weekend. On behalf of TOS I'd like to genuinely thank the Warioto Audubon
Society of Clarksville hosting the meeting and for their time and talents in
helping to make the Friday night reception and the Saturday afternoon meetings
a success. The paper sessions were extremely well done as students from Rhodes
College in Memphis and UT-Martin presented their papers. Later Saturday
evening, Bob Ford gave a thought provoking program on the rapidly increasing
effects of climate change as we discussed the deleterious possibilities that
are at our doorstep.
The weather co-operated for all of our field trips as we visited the Nyrstar
Zinc Plant "refuge", the Bicentennial Trail in Ashland City, Ft. Campbell
grasslands and Lake Taal, and Robertson Co. farmland and Cedar Hill Swamp.
Including a few parking lot finds, we found a total of 90 species during the
entire weekend. The list is as follows:
