🌿 Become a Georgia Master Naturalist at Dunwoody Nature Center!

Ever wanted to really understand the land beneath your feet — the plants, the pollinators, the creeks, the whole living system? Georgia's Master Naturalist certification program is coming to Dunwoody Nature Center, and we'd love for you to be part of it.

Right here on our 22 acres along Wildcat Creek, you'll get hands-on, in-the-field learning — exploring real habitats, working alongside experienced naturalists, and building skills through direct experience in nature, not just textbooks.

By the end, you'll walk away as a certified Master Naturalist: someone who can confidently steward Georgia's lands and who has the knowledge (and the passion!) to share it with your community — through volunteering, teaching, or simply being the friend who always has the answer on a nature walk.

👉 Register today and start your journey toward becoming a certified Georgia Master Naturalist: https://dunwoodynature.org/master-naturalists/

If you love the outdoors and want to turn that love into real impact, this is your program.
