Nature Center

The Nature Center at Steele Creek Park is a treasure trove of information for those who want to learn more about the natural history of the park.  Housed in a rustic building that was constructed from locally obtained timber, it has numerous exhibits demonstrating the ecology of the area, including many live specimens.

The Nature Center staff includes two full-time naturalists and several part time and junior naturalists.  In addition to providing regular programs for schools and the public, they are always willing to answer whatever questions you might have about the park, the exhibits, or the natural history of the area.

We are especially excited about the prospect of a major expansion of the Nature Center, scheduled to begin in the next several months.  This will be a joint project of the City of Bristol Tennessee and our Friends organization.
