During this meeting, the Tucker
River Fellows met with Kyle Simpson from Chattanooga Audubon Society which owns Maclellan island. We were discussing ways to help
improve the island. We discussed many things from litter to haunted houses. His
main focus was on keeping the island natural and making it a good place for
people to interact with nature.
Basically there is 18 acres for the
Tucker River Fellows to work with and there are many needs that Mr. Simpson told
us about. He explained how they needed new roofs on some of the buildings and
new bathrooms too. There is also a need for new maps of the island. And
finally, we were told that the island needed new, sturdy signs around the island.
We decided to take on the project
of making new signs. Hopefully we will be able to use GPS 3D printer to make
the signs durable. On the signs we are going to put the Audubon Society’s
number so that people can make reservations for camping. We will also put rules
on the sign like to littering, or pets. We are also going to be working with
Mr. Simpson to make sure there isn’t anything else they would like on the sign.

The Tucker River Fellows are exited
about this project because we all care about Maclellan island so much. We
desire to keep working with the Audubon Society because we have great hopes and
desires for the island to become more popular. The island is a great place for
people to interact with nature and we are so lucky to have a great program like
the Chattanooga Audubon Society to keep the island’s natural habitat preserved.
