Holly works on a statewide basis, offering programs directly to the public (groups). She also provides training to seasonal and fulltime State Park staff. Her knowledge about Tennessee natural history is extraordinary, ranging from birds to native plants and ecosystems and even insects (native bee species and fireflies).
Today we talk about her work and about the Tennessee Naturalist Program which is available to citizens with a desire to expand their knowledge of Tennessee Natural History.
