The Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve, also known as the Kreher Preserve and Nature Center (KPNC), located at 2222 N College St. The mission of the KPNC is to provide programs, experiences, nature trails and natural habitats for education, study and relaxation for students and citizens of all ages, while creating an atmosphere of discovery, and stewardship toward our natural world.

Since its endowment to the Auburn University School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, the Kreher Preserve and Nature Center has continued to evolve into a first-class discovery and nature center with exciting programs offered throughout the year. In keeping with its mission, the KPNC fosters a greater sense of appreciation and understanding of our environment with many nature-based programs such as:

  • Discovery hikes and nature walks
  • School programs and youth camps
  • Adult workshops and classes
  • Educational exhibits, tours and wildlife study

Please Note: Registration for all events at the Kreher Preserve and Nature Center are coordinated by KPNC staff. For more information, please visit the Kreher Preserve and Nature Center website or call (334) 707-6512. All program and event fees help fund the nature center operations.
