“We should pay more attention. We’re just mistreating Mother Nature—that’s like being ugly to your mama.” --Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton contributed to bald eagle conservation by creating the Eagle Mountain Sanctuary, which helps to educate Dollywood visitors about bald eagles and other birds of prey. Today, thanks to efforts across the continent, bald eagles are no longer endangered.
Our own resident eagle, Tahahente, lived for a while with Dollywood's partner, the American Eagle Foundation, before finding her permanent home here at the Woodlands Nature Station.
