There will be greenway and park closures in November and December for hunts in the Oak Ridge Wildlife Management Area.
The big game quota hunts will be held by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy and the City of Oak Ridge.
“For everyone’s safety, only hunters possessing a valid Oak Ridge WMA quota permit are allowed on the WMA during scheduled quota hunts,” a press release said.
The Oak Ridge WMA includes the Black Oak Ridge Conservation Easement (BORCE), North Boundary Greenway, Gallaher Bend Greenway, Haw Ridge Park, and the portion of Melton Lake Greenway passing through Haw Ridge Park. These areas will be closed to the general public during scout days and quota hunts on the following days:
- November 5-6 (hunt days)
- November 12-13 (hunt days)
- December 3 (scout day)
- December 10-11 (hunt days)
