What this tracks
This dataset maps the seven administrative regions where the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) manages wildlife conservation and public lands.
Why it matters to you
Knowing your TWRA region helps you find the right local office for hunting/fishing licenses, report wildlife issues, or learn about conservation programs in your area. If you’re planning a hunting trip in Tennessee, this tells you which region’s regulations apply to your destination. Landowners near region boundaries can confirm which TWRA officers handle nuisance wildlife calls.

Where this leaves you
