Beginning in September, each quarter will bring a dynamic expert speaker who will bring to life a fascinating piece of local ecology — and our relationship to it.
Two of the lectures will have corresponding field trips for a limited number of participants.
This series is sponsored by the partner organizations of the Spencer Environmental Center: Chattahoochee Fall Line Conservation Partnership, Chattahoochee RiverWarden, Chattahoochee Valley Land Trust, Coalition for Sound Growth, The Nature Conservancy, and Trees Columbus.
The Spencer Environmental Center, located at 303 12th Street, has become the environmental heart of the community, and we are proud to offer a collaborative lecture series that reflects our efforts in conservation, stewardship, and education throughout the Chattahoochee Valley.
For more information, contact Jenn Collins at (706) 649-2326 or LuAnn Craighton at (706) 571-2500.
