Project Phoenix Project Phoenix, a partnering effort among the Dale Hollow Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, the Dale Hollow Lake U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Friends of Dale Hollow Lake, Inc., takes its name from an American Indian legend that the Phoenix is the thunderbird, believed to be a powerful spirit in the form of a bird. Through its work, the earth is watered, and vegetation grows. Lightning is believed to flash from its beak, and the beating of its wings results in the sound of rolling thunder. As a joint effort for Dale Hollow, Project Phoenix is designed to replace dead pines with native hardwood tree species in damaged campgrounds, recreational areas, and other potential natural areas. The devastated forests will be replanted with a mix of healthy native hardwood trees to include various oaks, dogwoods, redbuds, maples, ash, black and sweet gums, tulip poplars, and other native shade and landscaping species.
