At the Dunwoody Nature Center, we aim to inspire the love of nature and cultivate environmental understanding by providing lifelong environmental education. We offer a variety of programs and activities that engage the public and provide the community with a sense of place within the natural world. We are located in Dunwoody, Georgia, just north of Metro Atlanta.
Things To Do
Join Our Challenge: Monarch & Margaritas Fundraiser
Monarchs & Margaritas generates over $60,000 for programming and operations. While the event won't occur this year, the need for funds to deliver high quality environmental education programs and preserve and protect the 22 acres we all love is greater than ever.
Saturday Volunteers
On the second Saturday of each month, the Dunwoody Nature Center hosts a Saturday morning service day for anyone in the community who wishes to volunteer. We welcome high school clubs, service organizations and other groups. It’s a wonderful way to start off your weekend in nature and service.
Forest Bathing Series
Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, is a Japanese form of nature therapy that is designed to connect you with nature. Join Robin Hancock, Certified Forest Therapy Guide, for a 2 1/2 – 3 hour session at Dunwoody Nature Center.
