It's bittersweet to say farewell to TDEC's Division of Water Resources Director Jenny Dodd. After being a part of TDEC for nearly 25 years, she has left for another rewarding role outside the agency. Current and former employees came out last month to wish her well, including two former Division Directors, Paul Davis and Tisha Calabrese-Benton, and current Interim Director April Grippo. Good luck on your next adventure, Jenny! We'll miss you!

Tennessee State Parks, the Tennessee Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and the Tennessee State Parks Conservancy have announced the installation of an adult-sized changing table in the visitors center at Natchez Trace State Park. The changing table enhances accessibility for tasks such as toileting. The table will assist changing for adults with special needs, children, and teens. Beyond being more convenient and dignified for visitors who need them, tables like these open up whole new possibilities for traveling and enjoying parks for many visitors and their caregivers.
