Founded in 1976, the Chattahoochee Nature Center is located on the Chattahoochee River in North Fulton County. The staff and board of directors of this non-profit organization are focused on interpreting the wildlife and plants along the Chattahoochee River and surrounding areas through programs and exhibits. The CNC is well known throughout the Metro-Atlanta area for its professional environmental education programs, wildlife rehabilitation clinic, attractive facilities, and the Nature Store gift shop. Coming in June of 2009: The new 10,000 sq. ft., LEED-certified Discovery Center will serve as the Interpretative Center for the Chattahoochee River. Filled with minds-on, hands-on exhibits, the center will enter a new phase as it becomes a regional travel destination.
