  • Establishment and maintenance of gardens around the Nature Center and elsewhere in the Park
  • Establishment of a registered arboretum dedicated to trees native to our region
  • Acquisition and donation to the City of a 3.9 acre tract of land contiguous to the Park, protecting a section of Trinkle Creek, home to a population of rare Tennessee dace
  • Support for the establishment of the Ruth Clark Herbrium at The Nature Center at Steele Creek Park
  • Creation of a family fitness trail at the Park
  • Construction of trail bridges, installation of trail signs, and help with trail maintenance
  • Construction and maintenance of information kiosks
  • Creation and printing of original Park trail maps
  • Financial and logistical support for Wildlife Weekend, summer nature camps, and other educational activities at the Park
