Our Mission

To promote and protect the rural character of the Beaman Park to Bells Bend corridor by establishing an outdoor recreational, agricultural, and residential conservation district that serves as a county, state, and regional planning model for open space preservation.

The Bells Bend area is still rural and should be preserved for present and future generations... it is a place of unsurpassed beauty adjacent to the Cumberland River, a place that will be cherished by thousands of people now and in the future.
— Wendell Berry, author

Farms & Local Food

The fertile bottom lands of the corridor have produced many successful farms over the years. We are committed to supplying local, healthy food to Nashville and beyond.

Conservation

We support for land owners seeking conservation easements and provide development & funding for programs on farming education, environmental stewardship and preservation.

Outdoor Recreation

From Beaman to Bells Bend, you’ll find some of Nashville’s most beautiful parks and Greenways here. These areas provide essential green space benefits for our city and state.
