Clinton Community Nature Center


The CCNC is a Nature Center located right in the middle of Old Town Clinton. This urban forest is the home to 2.5 miles of walking trails, an amphitheater, native plant nursery, and Price Hall. Price Hall houses the Nature Shop, large classroom, and offices. From teacher workshops to field trips, and art contests to nature lectures, there is always something going on at the Clinton Community Nature Center! CCNC is mostly maintained by volunteers. If you'd like to join our team, contact us today! Meeting space is also available.
