Discover this wonderful environmental learning facility

Time: 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Previously available exclusively to school groups, the E. O. Wilson Biophilia Center will open to the public thanks to an innovative public-private partnership between the Walton County Tourist Development Council (TDC) and the Center’s visionary, M.C. Davis.

Nestled within 49,000 of some of the most bio-diverse acres in the continental U.S., this amazing state-of-the-art, LEED certified educational facility offers visitors the unique opportunity to observe and interact with native species as a means of encouraging conservation, preservation and restoration. Activities scheduled throughout the day include tours of the Center, interpretive programs by Turtle Bob and Lisa Miller, and more.

A pair of rehabilitated wild hawks will be released at 10 a.m. to celebrate the event. Admission is free.
A $5 barbecue lunch plate with choice of chicken or pork will be available.
