SWIPE for before and after photos of the Edwin War

SWIPE for before and after photos of the Edwin Warner Park recreation area along the Little Harpeth River!

When the Edwin Warner Park Picnic Shelters were originally built in the 1960s, there was little consideration for the impact these high-use areas would have on the ecology and integrity of the Little Harpeth River floodway. Today, we have a greater understanding of human impact on native ecosystems, particularly in sensitive riparian zones.

In May 2022, we launched a major conservation project to improve erosion and restore the riverbank and native ecology along the Little Harpeth River recreation area.

In just over a year, we have:
1. Removed shelters #9, #10, and #11.
2. Reduced pavement, asphalt drives, and parking lots in the Edwin Warner Park floodway.
3. Planted native plants along the riparian buffer zone in place of these shelters along the riverbank.
4. Rebuilt and expanded shelters #9 and #10 away from the riverbank and out of the floodway.

Thank you to our donors, volunteers, and partners at @crcompact, @Nashville_Parks, and Metro water for making this project a reality.

The recreation area is scheduled to open back up to the public in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
