• Nature Navigators: Piedmont Park

Join us in the heart of Atlanta, Piedmont Park! We'll hike around Lake Clara Meer and through the Six Springs Wetlands to discover what makes these ecosystems unique and what lives right under our nose in the City!

Meet Lance, our Lead Navigator, at the base of the Piedmont Park Public Car Park North (1301 Monroe Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30306) that leads you into the Park, next to Magnolia Hall. Please note this is a paid parking deck that DOES NOT accept cash.

Nature Navigators leads us on adventures into (& out of) the green spaces found in & around Atlanta, while exposing the countless science experiments that nature is constantly running and how humans observe, influence, and are influenced by the natural world.

Consider these hikes as more of a scientific expedition through our local ecosystems. To that end, our entire journey will be a type of observational study and along the way we'll be making frequent stops to appreciate & ask questions about our surroundings.

Be prepared, it's almost time to slip away into the wild & ask nature why it's so weird! Pack water, snacks or a mobile meal, a smile and whatever else is appropriate for the respective adventure. Children are always welcome as long as they are able! Or you can backpack them!
