Why become a Friend?
As an all-volunteer, community organization, we depend upon our members to help us support the Nature Center’s mission: “The Nature Center at Steele Creek Park researches and conserves the natural and cultural history of Steele Creek Park and the Southern Appalachians, and educates the public on those efforts through exhibits and outreach”.
