Mack has been in demand
as a speaker to groups all across Tennessee and elsewhere
for almost 40 years. He is a retired Tennessee State
Naturalist with over 40 years of service to the State of Tennessee.
Mack is an eloquent spokesman for all things related to the
modern history of conservation in Tennessee. To know
Mack is to love him unless you are not being nice to Mother
Nature.
Speaking at the
Cumberland Wild forum at Trails and Trilliums 2011
Mack and Mr. Ben Cagle
from Chattanooga have teamed up to record some of Mack's
presentations, the first one of which is Mack's talk about
the history of Savage Gulf and the founding of the South
Cumberland State Recreation Area presented in Beersheba
Springs a short distance from the Stone Door. The
video is over 40 minutes in length. There is a trailer
following Mack's presentation produced and narrated by Ben.
