This past July this mural was unveiled showcasing three endangered Tennessee mussels and two darters, a Blotchside Logperch and a Citico Darter. The mural is on a retaining wall that is 230 feet long by about 15 feet high and is located on one of our greenways near the University of Tennessee.

Very cool! It's been years, but that looks like the Third Creek greenway the goes between main campus and the agriculture campus. Is the Joe Johnson Drive bridge in the background?

Yes it is very cool and I'm glad you guys like it. You are correct UncleWillie, and a short walk from my office; I was at the 'hooch over the weekend and exploring the Chickamauga, just outside of Sautee, you guys need some water just like we do.
