About this audio guide

Warner Parks in Nashville hides a state natural area called Hill Forest, a tract of oak, hickory, tulip poplar and walnut trees inside the Burch Reserve that escaped a real estate company's plans for houses and driveways. This guide follows the Friends of Warner Parks nonprofit and the Hill family through the deal that decided its fate, and the deer, woodpeckers and salamanders that share the ground around Nashville's largest cave. Listen near the Burch Reserve trailhead, where the old growth canopy closes in overhead.
