Bear Rescue
A group of dedicated volunteers decided to form Appalachian Black Bear Rehabilitation & Release Center to help the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park care for the orphaned cubs of the Smokies. The Appalachian Bear Rescue cares for orphaned and injured black bear cubs for return to their natural wild habitat. We also increase public awareness about coexisting with black bears and study all aspects of returning cubs to the wild.
News Sentinel
In 1886 publisher John Trevis Hearn founded The Sentinel as an evening newspaper. In 1994 The News Sentinel was among the first newspapers to establish a Web site. From the award-winning News Sentinel that's served the region for more than 125 years, to a growing number of websites, magazines, community newspapers and special events, the KNS Media Group is unmatched in delivering valuable information and services throughout East Tennessee.
National Park
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park preserves a rich cultural tapestry of Southern Appalachian history. The mountains have had a long human history spanning thousands of years-from the prehistoric Paleo Indians to early European settlement in the 1800s to loggers and Civilian Conservation Corps enrollees in the 20th century. The park strives to protect the historic structures, landscapes, and artifacts that tell the varied stories of people who once called these mountains home.
