Chattahoochee Nature Center

Chattahoochee Nature Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting people with nature through experiences along the Chattahoochee River and the watershed it sustains.

Across 127 acres of forests, wetlands, native gardens, wildlife habitats, and trails, people of all ages discover how the River, the land, and the life around them are connected. Through environmental education, wildlife rehabilitation, conservation initiatives, and outdoor experiences, the Nature Center helps build understanding, curiosity, and stewardship for the natural world.

Founded by community members in the mid-1970s, Chattahoochee Nature Center has grown into one of the region’s leading environmental education organizations, welcoming 150,000 visitors annually. For 50 years, generations of families, students, volunteers, members, and supporters have helped shape this place and its mission.

We believe that when people know the River, they care for it. That belief continues to guide everything we do, from caring for injured wildlife and restoring native habitats to creating opportunities for discovery, learning, and connection.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to a favorite trail, Chattahoochee Nature Center offers a place to explore, learn, and deepen your relationship with the natural world. Visit us today and experience the wonders of Chattahoochee Nature Center.
