The cover feature introduced Caledonia Forest & Wildlife Conservation, a Stewart County project on more than 500 acres expected to open in 2025, with public and private tours. The foundation's ambitions run far larger: it plans to expand to 20,000 acres under a forest conservation program and has set an audacious goal of planting 50 million trees. The piece was framed around Joel, a sixth-generation Tennessean raised in Clarksville, who served two terms on the City Council and, in 2018, was elected to the Tennessee Republican Party State Executive Committee.
“More Calm, Less Clutter” turned to retail therapy of a quieter sort, singling out a Wilma Rudolph Boulevard shop built around unique home goods where customers add to their collections while supporting a good cause — a deliberate antidote to the noise of the strip. Lighter Valentine's coverage — “Mochas & Minis” and a “Pups, Plants + Goods” market — filled out the issue.
The recurring departments round out a February number with a thread of intention running through it: one feature planting trees by the million for a future decades out, the other paring life down to what matters — both making the case that thoughtful choices, at any scale, compound.
The feature's subject, Joel, was rooted in Clarksville soil: a sixth-generation Tennessean raised by a family that prized public service, a graduate of Cunningham, Mitchell and Rocconi, a two-term city councilman, and, since 2018, a member of the Tennessee Republican Party State Executive Committee — the kind of local grounding the conservation project leaned on. The companion “More Calm, Less Clutter” found its own intention along Wilma Rudolph Boulevard, in a shop of unique home goods where customers build their collections while supporting a good cause, a quiet counterpoint to the noise of the strip.
