Federation and the hub for our conservation programs and partnerships across the state.
Located on 115 acres along the Alcovy River, the Center houses GWF staff and provides a welcoming place for conservation partners, community leaders, and others to meet, collaborate, and learn through in-person, virtual, and hybrid gatherings.
The property also features approximately two miles of trails and boardwalks that wind through hardwood forests, wetlands, meadows, and tupelo swamps along the Alcovy River.
Visitors are encouraged to explore the trails free of charge during normal business hours and enjoy the diverse wildlife and natural areas found throughout the property.
