Members of the Herndon Bird Club and the Bristol Bird Club, together with residents of Shady Valley, are planning a Foray for June 10-12, 2011 for the Shady Valley area in Johnson County in the north-east tip of Tennessee . This Tennessee Ornithological Society Shady Valley Foray is being planned with Co-sponsorship of the Tennessee Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. The foray was conceived by Wallace Coffey, President elect of the Bristol Bird Club, partly to commemorate anniversaries of two previous Shady Valley forays. 50 years ago (June, 1961) the Herndon Chapter organized an initial Shady Valley Foray and held similar events for two succeeding years. 35 years ago (1976) the Bristol Bird Club conducted a greatly successful foray in Shady Valley. As planning proceeds, information on the foray schedule, activities, routes to Shady Valley, and information on motels and campgrounds in the area will be made available through Bristol-birds, TN-birds and other appropriate sources.
