About this Event
Big changes are coming to Blue Heron, and we want to make sure they reflect the priorities of our community.
After 16 years in the Blue Heron Nature Preserve headquarters building at 4055 Roswell Rd, the time has come for something better. The current building has served us and our conservation and education partners well. Unfortunately, the building needs significant repairs, was never built for its current use, and public access is limited.
The City has begun the planning process, and we will soon have a new nature center building which will help usher in a new era at the Blue Heron Nature Preserve. We will be making a more detailed announcement later this year. In the meantime, we will continue to serve our community out of the current building through the coming school year as plans for the nature center develop.
As these long-term efforts take shape, Blue Heron is exploring improvements to the Land O Lakes location, on the south side of the property. This is an opportunity to continue offering conservation, education, and public programming while the new nature center is being built, and to serve as a long-term field location for the Preserve in the future.
We recently requested input from our neighbors and community about what they wanted to see most: trail connections to surrounding neighborhoods, indoor and outdoor learning spaces, restrooms, gardens, native meadows, or other amenities. In this meeting we will share the results of that survey, conduct open discussions, and work together towards a plan that will best serve the community.
