Ahead of its 50th anniversary, Chattahoochee Nature Center (CNC) is launching a new challenge initiative called “50 Things to Do at Chattahoochee Nature Center.”
The challenge encourages Atlantans to explore the outdoors in creative and meaningful ways, with the first challenge kicking off this month during CNC’s popular “Halloween Hikes” event and continuing through June 2026.
Participants are encouraged to complete activities from four themed categories (“Health and Wellness,” “Adventure,” “Artistic” and “Flora and Fauna”) that CNC designed to showcase the many ways visitors can connect with nature, according to the environmentally-focused nonprofit.
Planned activities include canoeing, hiking, creating nature art, meeting wildlife ambassadors and more.
Participating Atlantans that complete 45 of the 50 activities are able to submit their challenge tracker and a photo for a chance to win a number of prizes, according to CNC.
Winners will be drawn monthly from July 2026 through October 2026, coinciding with CNC’s upcoming anniversary celebrations.
“It’s hard to believe Chattahoochee Nature Center is approaching five decades of connecting people with nature, a milestone we are all incredibly proud of and excited to commemorate,” said Natasha Rice, chief executive officer of Chattahoochee Nature Center. “We decided to begin the celebration early in a way that truly engages our community, and launching our ‘50 Things’ challenge during Halloween Hikes felt like the perfect way to do that.”
Founded in 1976 by local conservation advocates, the Roswell-based CNC has grown from a 6.7-acre site into a 127-acre environmental learning center that sees more than 150,000 visitors a year.
Over the decades, the nonprofit has expanded its programming, wildlife habitats and facilities, becoming one of Georgia’s leaders in conservation, rehabilitation and education in the process, said a press release.
More information about the “50 Things” challenge, along with CNC’s future anniversary events, can be found on the nonprofit’s website.
