Another summer has come and gone, and while everyone enjoys these last few weeks of good weather before the winter takes over, TVA is still hard at work to ensure our natural resources get the attention they need. In this issue, you’ll read about some of the newest universal accessibility upgrades and learn about how TVA prepares for hurricanes and rainy winter weather. Also, you’ll learn about what makes TVA public land so valuable to our hunting community. I hope you’ll take some time to enjoy the beautiful fall colors that bring people to the Valley year after year. Just because the weather is cooler doesn’t mean you can’t get outside and enjoy your TVA public lands!

Our team doesn’t hibernate! Cooler weather, lower water levels and bare foliage are good for some of the work we do. That means even after the first frosts hit the ground, we’re still in the field—observing wildlife habitat, repairing public amenities, helping with cleanups and planning for the next summer.
