Will We Be Back To Normal Soon?
While it is hard to say what the new “normal” will look like, we are planning to resume programming the week of May 18th. Exactly what programming and under what restrictions is still to be determined. Our plans will be coordinated with the City of Dunwoody and subject to guidance from the CDC.
Summer Camp Update
Sweetgum Ball Challenge
Thanks to everyone taking part in our Sweetgum Ball Challenge to fill the bucket with the prickly seed pods of our majestic Sweetgum tree.
Congratulations to Graham Brown for holding the current record of 7min 44sec. You are welcome to come and try to beat his record. Post your results and tag us!
Graham is the son of our Board President Jany Brown–who explained that they just had to get out of the house and into nature for a while. Nice job!

Mother's Day Activities
This Mother’s Day, the Nature Center will be hosting a social-distancing-friendly event called WILD For Mother’s Day.
In celebration of Mother’s Day weekend (May 8-10), families can download a Mother’s Day Trail Map to guide them through some of the best (and most wild!) photo-ops in the park. Trail markers will be set up at each location to help guide your adventure. Don’t forget to pick up the complementary WILD treasure along the way!
Post your family photos on social media with #DunwoodyNatureMoms for the chance to win Nature Center merch and prizes!
