Chattahoochee Nature Center (CNC) is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supported by our members and community at large (like you!), making it possible for us to bring you environmental education programs that are unsurpassed in Georgia.
CNC’s mission is to connect people with nature. For almost 50 years, CNC has inspired both naturalists and citizens to build one of the most unique places on the Chattahoochee River. Founded by local citizen activists in the mid-1970s, CNC has been nurtured by hundreds of people who have worked to build a strong grassroots environmental learning center, touching the lives of more than 144,000 children and adults each year.
In metro Atlanta, no other place offers our community the opportunity to connect to such a broad circle of activities and experiences in the natural world: the river, the land, wildlife, plants, educators, knowledge, and passion, which we share freely with all visitors. Chattahoochee Nature Center is a unique place where people connect to each other and the river through a shared respect for nature. Through that interaction with nature, we excite our senses and encourage learning. Visit us today and experience the wonders of Chattahoochee Nature Center.
