Alcovy Conservation Center
Much of the mission of the Georgia Wildlife Federation depends on successful conservation education. Quality education requires well-trained conservation leaders, public officials, and educators. Using the magnificent tupelo swamps of the Alcovy River as an interpretive backdrop, the Alcovy Conservation Center (ACC) provides quality education, networking, and training opportunities for these leaders who will deliver the conservation message to the next generation.
Situated on 115-acres along the Alcovy River, the main building complex contains 15,000 square feet of office, lecture, classroom and library space, surrounded by native plant gardens. Other facilities on the site include pavilions, an executive retreat house, and a quaint log cabin. Scenic boardwalks and trails meander through woodlands, wetlands, and meadows.
