Remembering Winfield Dunn
Winfield Dunn, who became the 43rd governor of Tennessee in 1971, passed away on Saturday, September 28, 2024 at the age of 97.
In 1971, Dunn signed into law the Natural Area Preservation Act, which established legal protections for areas like Radnor Lake. This Act continues to protect more than 100,000 acres in more than 80 state natural areas.
We were honored to have Winfield Dunn (pictured) join us at Radnor Lake State Natural Area in May 2021 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the signing of this Act.
Our sincere condolences to his family and friends for whom this is an especially difficult time.
