Description

The legend that was once Robert Sparks Walker started in a log cabin outdoor Chattanooga known as Spring Frog Cabin, a humble abode built by a Cherokee naturalist in 1750. Walker would continue within the footsteps of that Cherokee to turn into synonymous both with Chattanooga and nature, penning thousands of articles, poems and books as a naturalist. Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, Walker gained international fame for his work, yet his largest have an effect on remains in his native Tennessee. He helped to found the Chattanooga Audubon Society, including preserving his childhood home through Audubon Acres. Walker is remembered during the state for his nationally syndicated nature column, and the Lifetime Achievement Award for Environmental Stewardship is given in his name. His life was once one in all adventure, reflection and a deep devotion to the understanding and preservation of nature. Local creator Alexandra Walker Clark, granddaughter of Robert Sparks Walker, celebrates the life of this Scenic City pioneer.
