GeorgiaThe Chattahoochee Nature Center is a nonprofit environmental education center on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in Roswell. It began in 1976 as a grassroots effort by local citizens who wanted to preserve green space and give the community a place to connect with nature, starting on fewer than seven acres with a group of volunteers. Over the following decades it expanded into a campus of roughly 127 acres that includes woodland and wetland trails, boardwalks, native plant gardens, and a wildlife rehabilitation program that cares for injured birds of prey and other animals. Its programs in environmental education and native plant conservation now draw well over 100,000 visitors a year, making it one of metro Atlanta's leading nature destinations.
