About this program

Donated to GWF by the Mall of Georgia Partners in 2003, the property provides a natural retreat in the heart of one of Georgia's fastest-growing areas.

Natural-surface and boardwalk trails wind through the property and include two bridges over Ivy Creek, an observation tower, an outdoor amphitheater, a raised workstation along Little Ivy Creek, and benches for visitors to stop and enjoy the surrounding wetlands and wildlife.

Volunteers and local Scout groups play an important role in maintaining MCNC's trails and natural areas. Consider becoming a volunteer and helping GWF care for this special property.
