Tennessee Scenic Rivers Association

Tennessee Scenic Rivers Association TSRA is dedicated to protecting and preserving free flowing streams in TN

In June 1966, two friends, Robert Miller and Tony Statler, were floating the Collins River, fishing for trout. They had heard about the Corps of Engineers' plans to channelize the river and said to each other, "We can't let this happen." In September, a group, including Miller, Statler, Don Bodley, Bill Griswold, Bill Mitchum and Bill and Lee Russell (of Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning

[TCWP]) gathered at Blakemore Methodist Church in Nashville and formed the Tennessee Scenic Rivers Association.
