Learn more about us here, but remember, our members are the heart of Dunwoody Nature Center!
The Dunwoody Nature Center is a nonprofit 501-c3 organization established by community volunteers in 1990 to develop, improve, and preserve twenty-two acres of DeKalb County’s Dunwoody Park as a natural classroom for environmental education.
The park features a wetland boardwalk, woodland and streamside trails; display gardens; a picnic meadow; and a shaded playground. The park is open sun-up to sundown, seven days a week, free of charge. Dunwoody Nature Center is open Monday Friday, 9 am to 5 pm and some Saturdays, to provide programs for children and adults.
Programs include: field trips for school groups and scout groups; Dream Gardens tour, lecture series, and classes for adults; Family Animal Encounters; Park after Dark events; Earth Day festival; the Butterfly Festival; seasonal classes for children; Holiday and Summer Camps. In 2006, the Nature Center served about over 8,000 participants in scheduled programs, and at least 25,000 people simply enjoyed the park facilities.
The Dunwoody Nature Center is funded by program fees, donations,; memberships from local businesses and citizens, and grants. The Center and Dunwoody Park are owned and partially maintained by DeKalb County Parks and Recreation. Staffing, operation, programming, equipment, supplies and environmental improvements are supported by the Dunwoody Nature Center, Inc.
Our Federal Identification Number (for families filing camp-related tax documentation) is 58-2009823.
