The Chattahoochee Nature Center was founded in 1977.
The 127-acre property includes a River Boardwalk, Discovery Center, wetland demonstration gardens, and woodland trails that are home to over 50 species of injured, non-releasable wildlife.
Educational programming is offered at CNC Monday through Friday throughout the year for K-12 students, homeschool groups, and community groups.
The wildlife department receives more than 3,500 phone calls each year, with topics ranging from animal identification to habitat destruction.
The wildlife staff provides medical assistance to injured birds of prey, reptiles, and amphibians with the hope of releasing them back into the wild.
CNC has partnered with North Fulton Community Charities to provide NFCC families with fresh fruits and vegetables from the CNC Unity Garden.
The CNC / NFCC partnership enables NFCC families to improve their health and nutrition while experiencing a more balanced meal.
For the past 8 years, CNC’s Unity Garden has supplied more than 32 tons of fresh produce to the clients of NFCC.
The Unity Garden is made possible through Roswell Rotary funding as well as community volunteers who worked over 500 hours last year.
