The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission dedicated the Steve G. Smith Memorial Bridge at the Fred Berry Conservation Education Center on Crooked Creek in Yellville on Tuesday.
According to the plaque dedicated at the ceremony, Stephen Guthrie Smith played key roles in the 421-acre land acquisition, planning, financing and construction of the education center.
When the old bridge became unsafe for school bus traffic, Smith led fundraising for a new bridge.
The Game and Fish Commission says the former Little Rock resident worked passionately to conserve Arkansas wildlife and introduce young people to nature. He served as president of the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation for 25 years.
Smith died in March.
