ADULT PROGRAMS
You’re never too old to learn something new! As part of our mission to inspire the love of nature, the Dunwoody Nature Center offers a variety of adult education programs about the natural world and our place in it.
Master Naturalists
Master Naturalist is an adult education course developed in collaboration with the UGA Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources. This ten week course uses a combination of lectures and hands-on learning in the field, covering a variety of nature education subjects including plant identification and foraging, forestry, stream ecology, and more!
Paint Like Bob Ross
Complete a Bob Ross landscape painting in just one class…even if you have never painted before! That’s the magic of the techniques used by Bob Ross in his popular TV series, the Joy of Painting®. Bob Ross Certified Instructor Jeremy Rogers walks you through step by step how to paint a stunning Bob Ross landscape.
Beekeeper’s Club
Join the Dunwoody Beekeeping Club the first Thursday of each month for a program, followed by a question and answer session with the ability to meet and learn from other local beekeepers. In addition, we offer several opportunities throughout the year for everyone to observe the hives!
Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a series of gentle physical exercises and stretches. It is sometimes described as meditation in motion; it promotes serenity through gentle movements, connecting the mind and body. Taught with relatively slow movements, Tai Chi provides a safe, gradual way of improving flexibility and range of motion.
Birding
Dunwoody Nature Center is a great spot for birding in the Atlanta area throughout all four seasons! Join Master Birder Rose Guerra as she guides you through the Nature Center trails and help you to identify the birds present at this time of year. This program is great for beginners and experienced birders alike!
