About
The Dunwoody Nature Center will build an exceptional nature center that promotes environmental literacy and serves as a nature-based cultural enclave for community activity.
At the Dunwoody Nature Center, we recognize that the strength and effectiveness with which we pursue our mission are directly related to our people – our staff, our board, our visitors, and our volunteers. The diversity of our collective backgrounds and experiences, individual differences, capabilities, and talents only serves to enrich our work and build community. Accordingly, the Dunwoody Nature Center is committed to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We embrace and encourage differences in age, color, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and other characteristics that make each person unique.
We strive to treat others with dignity and respect at all times and support inclusiveness in all our endeavors.
