Maddox is ready for this next chapter. In recent years we have strengthened our internal systems, clarified our values, and affirmed a vision for a Middle Tennessee where young people, communities, and the environment are thriving. This blueprint represents our commitment to bring that vision to life. It outlines how we will advocate for change, cultivate authentic and reciprocal relationships, and tend to the long-term sustainability of movements, leaders, and the ecosystems that sustain us.

Bobby Wilson Free Fishing Day returns June 6!

On Saturday, June 6, all Tennessee residents and visitors of any age may fish for free without a license in Tennessee’s public waters.
