The 960-acre Shelby Bottoms Greenway and Natural Area is located in East Nashville adjacent to Shelby Park and is one of five Natural Area Parks within Metro Parks.
With approximately three miles of Cumberland River frontage, this area features bottomland hardwood forests, open fields, wetlands, and streams, providing excellent habitat for birds, amphibians, deer and more. The greenway offers over 5 miles of paved ADA-accessible trail and over 5 miles of primitive trails. The Shelby Bottoms Nature Center is an environmental education and recreation facility that offers a wide range of free public nature, environmental education, and outdoor recreation programs. John Michael Cassidy talks about Shelby Bottoms and the many ways for the public to enjoy the park.
John Michael Cassidy has been a Naturalist with Metro Parks since 2013 and is based at Shelby Bottoms Nature Center. In addition to Natural Areas, he also leads outdoor recreation programs with Outdoor Nashville (Metro Parks), Vanderbilt Outdoor Rec, and is an adjunct instructor in Geography.
