We love The Nature Center at Steele Creek Park! ❤️



https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15d3K2eP8J/

The City of Bristol Tennessee is delighted to share the exciting news that The Nature Center at Steele Creek Park has earned accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums, a distinction now held by only 4 percent of museums nationwide. Accreditation signifies the Nature Center's commitment to excellence, accountability, high professional standards, and continued improvement.

Kudos to Nature Center Manager Jeremy Stout, his staff of skilled naturalists, and the non-profit Friends of Steele Creek Nature Center and Park for this incredible achievement that will bring national attention to Steele Creek Park as a site for research, education and conservation. We invite you to visit the Nature Center during your next trip to beautiful Steele Creek Park and learn more about AAM accreditation by visiting https://ow.ly/O0up50Ws5Hk
