670 acres have been officially transferred to the state of Tennessee for conservation in Grundy County.

The new land will be added to the Savage Gulf State Park.

A group of conservation groups acquired the land two years ago because of it ecological significance.

This is the final step in the process of protecting it.

The land includes a mile of streams that flow into the Collins State Scenic River.

It also boasts several rare specialties including several varieties of wild orchids.
