Bells Bend Conservation Corridor

Bells Bend Conservation Corridor The Third Vision: For Nashvillians countywide to see and appreciate what’s in their own backyard – before it's gone.

As Nashville's urban growth has spread in all directions, the Beaman Park to Bells Bend Corridor has managed to retain a rural landscape that is in many ways unchanged from the time of its settlement in the nineteenth century. Like the far-sighted thinking in our own city that produced Shelby, Centennial and the Warner Parks, this last remaining area of working farms, upland trails, waterways, and

wildlife ought to be saved - not only for the enjoyment of future generations, but also for the well-rounded planning of a great, livable city. Indeed, with its fertile bottomlands, rolling pastures, and forested hills, Bells Bend has been called "probably the best preserved historic agricultural landscape remaining in the county." The community has successfully fought off attempts by developers to encroach on the area with urban sprawl. In order to head-off future large-scale developments, the residents are now working with government and conservation agencies to permanently protect the area.

The Bells Bend Conservation Corridor was born out of a fight against a landfill and other development pressure. After the community came together to organize against a massive landfill in Bells Bend, (the site eventually became our beloved Bells Bend Park) and a massive development proposal known as “Maytown,” it was clear that we needed a group dedicated to the protection and preservation of this jewel of a biodiverse green space, some of Nashville’s last remaining rural land. BBCC was officially incorporated in 2014, building on that initial advocacy and formalizing a long-term strategy to protect land, support farms, and ensure Bells Bend remains a public and ecological asset for the region.
