Using the magnificent Alcovy River & Swamps as an interpretive backdrop, the Alcovy Conservation Center provides quality education and training opportunities for these leaders who will deliver the conservation message to the next generation. To date, workshops hosted at the ACC include an issue summit on water policy and habitat steward, hunter safety, and EcoWatch trainings.
The Alcovy Conservation Center means great things for the future of GWF. It doesn't change our focus, but it increases our ability to accomplish our mission. GWF remains dedicated to environmental education, sportsmen's issues, and land conservation. The Alcovy Conservation Center allows GWF to deliver our message more effectively to more people - to truly be the community service organization we were designed to be.
The main building complex contains 15,000 square feet of office, lecture, classroom and library space, surrounded by native plant gardens. Situated on 115-acres along the Alcovy River, other facilities on the site include pavilions, an executive retreat house, and a quaint log cabin.
Our scenic wildlife areas include woodland, wetland, and meadow habitats, as well as demonstration wildlife habitat gardens. Amble through our forest along Dogwood trail, as it takes you to the edge of our Tupelo Gum river swamp, along the Alcovy River. Deer, fox squirrel, otter, and a variety of songbirds are just a few of our year-round residents.
Recycling
Recycling is an easy way to take an active role in caring for our world. Many city and county governments offer curbside recycling programs or recycling centers. Call your local sanitation department to see how easy recycling can be in your area. Here at the ACC, we recycle plastics, glass and paper.
