The Fall Schedule is now available online and at the Nature Center!

Our Mission

• To help protect, preserve, restore and manage the park ecosystem and all natural resources.
• To raise awareness, foster respect and share enthusiasm for the natural environment

Educate, protect, recreate

The Nature Center is a place where people and nature come together!

• a jump-off point for exploring over 3,100 acres of Nashville's Burch Reserve, Percy Warner and Edwin Warner Parks
• a natural history and education reference for individuals and groups
• a resource for organic gardening and native plant landscaping

The living laboratory of Warner Park is shared through free programs offered throughout the year, school field trips and high school labs, outdoor recreation programs and activities and events for people of all ages.

It's all about the birds

Now is the time for ruby-throated hummingbirds to migrate and the Nature Center is the place to be to enjoy:

• An entire day of free activities to celebrate our smallest bird​
• Lots of hummingbirds buzzing backwards and forwards, hovering, and fighting over feeders and flowers
  while rocking on the porch
• Hummingbird Banding Research
• A great sunset around 7 p.m.
