GWF will be opening a nature center adjacent to the Mall of Georgia in Buford.

If you are a new GWF volunteer, please complete the online application. In the meantime, feel free to contact millcreek@gwf.org if you have questions. Visit the Calendar for upcoming dates.

From 2003-2006, birder Karen Theodorou, DNR biologist Mark Beebe and several other volunteers conducted Migratory Bird Surveys as part of the Partners in Flight migratory study. Although the data has been collected for that study, we would like to continue offering occasional bird walks at Mill Creek.

In order to best manage a natural area, one must know the kinds of species that inhabit the area. Back in 2002-2003 (when GWF became owners of the MCNC), several GWF volunteers and staff walked the MCNC trails to survey the property for flora and fauna.

About every 6 months, a trail work day is held to spruce up the nature center’s grounds and take care of any trail issues. Activities during the trail work day include picking up garbage from the trails, removing any downed trees along trails, pulling, cutting and/or painting Chinese privet (to help eradicate this non-native, invasive plant from the property) and any other issues that need attending to.
