Chattanooga nestles in one of the most biologically diverse areas of the world, specifically in terms of freshwater species.
In our region 450 species of plants and animals are rare or imperiled.
Take the laurel dace for example, a small freshwater fish likely found in only two streams on Walden Ridge. If fish aren’t your fancy, envision our red wolf. Roughly 257 red wolves live in captivity with 25 in the wild.
