The May Prairie is probably the hottest natural area in Tennessee right now. And we say that facetiously because the last time we were there…it was on fire! This was a blaze that was set on purpose…not by an arsonists…but by scientists from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and Tennessee Division of Forestry. May Prairie is a very lovely place, where you can walk and enjoy the many colorful flowers which include some rare species, and it’s the only place in the state where you’ll see a snow orchid. Fire is just one of the tools being use to help reclaim and restore this land to what nature intended.
