Members receive year-round daylight access to 300+ acres of beauty. Just 10 minutes from Downtown Chattanooga, our campus feels 100 miles away.
Many of our educational programs focus on native plants, removing invasive exotics, gardening with natives, and plant conservation.
We have an active project on iNaturalist where you can see the observations other visitors and our staff have made on the property. Join in the fun from the iNaturalist app or on the website. Whether you recognize the species or not, you can submit photos or audio files and the community will help identify your observation. Additionally, you'll be sharing data with the larger scientific community that can be used later for research. Please obscure the location of sensitive or endangered species. Anything you capture on our property will be automatically added to our iNaturalist project!
