• Ages: 3–18 years old
• Schedule: Office hours Monday–Friday, 9:00 am–5:00 pm
Dunwoody Nature Center Camps & Nature Programs operates within a 22-acre area that includes forest, a playground, and trails and is free and open to the public year-round from sunrise to sunset, seven days a week with no admission fee. The organization follows an environmental improvement approach that focuses on removing invasive, nonnative plants and replacing them with native species, avoiding mowing and trimming so plants and trees can continue their life cycles, cutting fallen trees only when needed to clear or reroute trails, isolating garbage cans to picnic areas, and reminding dog owners to follow leash and waste laws. Its educational philosophy includes providing information about native plants and animals, exploring relationships among living things and human impact, training children to be “backyard naturalists,” and offering educational experiences that appeal to different learning styles. Dunwoody Nature Center has a diversity, equity, and inclusion policy that embraces and encourages differences in a wide range of personal characteristics. Each year, the park has more than 30,000 visitors, more than 17,000 people are served through camps, programs, or education center visits, and students in seven grades (K–6) from across the state attend field study programs, with 12 months of scheduled nature classes, adult programs, special events, overnight camping programs, field trips for school and scout groups, and outreach programs to area schools.
Dunwoody Nature Center Camps & Nature Programs is operated by Dunwoody Nature Center, which is a 501(C)3 nonprofit. As a nonprofit, it relies on a community of volunteers, including individuals, students, corporations, service organizations, and other groups, to help with various projects and special events. The mission of Dunwoody Nature Center is to inspire the love of nature and cultivate environmental understanding and stewardship by conserving and enhancing Dunwoody Park, educating children, families, and adults of all ages about the natural world and their place in it, and motivating environmental awareness and responsible action.
