Upcoming Science ATL Events
Nature Navigators: Yellow River
2026-04-18T14:00:00.000Z
Come with us to explore the ecosystems of Yellow River Park.
Meet Lance, our Lead Navigator, at the base of the parking deck that leads you into the Park, next to Magnolia Hall.
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!
