Topic: Are Your Bees Ready For Winter? What you need to do now to have healthy Winter bees. 

Sometimes with the best of intentions, we have turned an extremely rich and biodiverse land into a sterile and toxic environment, unable to adequately support the plants and animals that sustain life as we know it. We’ll discuss how we arrived at this state and what every landowner can do to help recover a vibrant, native and diverse ecosystem where bugs, birds and humans thrive.

Get ready to enjoy your presence in nature as never before. This class is an introduction to Forest Bathing including its origins, health benefits, and the many reasons it is good for us. Forest Bathing is often used as an eco-antidote to today’s tech-boom burnout by getting back to nature. Participants will take a mini-walk and reconnect with the forest.

Join us for a staff led hike this weekend!  Take advantage of this professionally guided tour and see all that the Nature Center has to offer. 

Atlanta Artists Center will be scattered throughout the Nature Center painting nature-inspired art live! Visit the Nature Center and watch the artists work!

The paintings created by the artists from yesterday's Plein Air Paint Out will be showcased here at the Nature Center on Sunday, October 4th, from 10:00am-2:00pm for guests to enjoy.

In this class we will explore how providing native plants and controlling exotic species can create critical habitat and safe-havens for birds and other wildlife. Come learn how native plants provide vital resources for birds, from providing food and shelter sources to sustaining the insect populations birds rely on to feed themselves and their young.

In this class, participants will reflect on how to use this season of our lives, in the midst of a global health crisis, to choose well day by day. It’s about eating real food and learning to live through the real challenges life brings that threaten our health, our joy, and our call to serve. As a participant you will learn how to create a path that will lead you to renewed energy, immunity, health, joy and generosity.

All nature enthusiasts and book worms are invited to join our new Nature Lover's Book Club. Members will select the books and both fiction and non-fiction will be read.
