The Trust for Public Land is leading an effort to protect Stringer's Ridge just outside Chattanooga. It is the ridge from which Eli Lilly's battery bombarded Chattanooga and where Wilder's Lightning Brigade encamped.
The Trust is currently part of a mapping program to identify which undeveloped locations in and around Chattanooga best tell the story of the battle. These locations, if preserved, will hopefully one day become part of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park.
To date the trust has raised over $1.9 million of the $2.5 million needed to preserve Stringer’s Ridge for future generations. $180,000 is needed to meet a mid-term deadline on January 9th, which will guarantee the protection all 92 acres of Stringer's Ridge from development.
