The Wylde Center Announces New Nature Programs in Celebration of the Environmental Organization’s 20th Year

The Wylde Center, one of metro Atlanta’s premier environmental organizations, is celebrating its 20th anniversary throughout 2017. To commemorate this milestone year, The Wylde Center is offering a series of one-hour, outdoor nature programs for the entire family that are free for members and only $5 for non-member adults and $2.50 for non-member children 12 and under. The programs will encompass a variety of topics and will take place at various Wylde Center greenspaces. The programs for March will all take place on Saturday afternoons and include:

For two decades, the Wylde Center has been growing, educating and greening. From the seed of an idea in 1997, the Wylde Center has blossomed into an environmental organization that oversees five distinctive greenspaces, conducts a year-round educational program for all ages, hosts social events and delivers farm to school programming in Decatur and Atlanta schools. Staff and volunteers engage children, families and individuals in activities designed to develop creative skills in sustainable urban living, organic gardening, health and nutrition. Despite its robust growth, the Wylde Center has stayed true to its original mission of cultivating vibrant greenspaces for everyone to enjoy, and inspiring communities of environmental stewards. The Wylde Center is supported by memberships, donations, volunteers and grants. It’s never been a better time to get involved with this homegrown environmental resource!
