Who We Are

Newman Wetlands Center is a nature area dedicated to environmental education owned and operated by Clayton County Water Authority. We strive to provide a safe, welcoming environment for community members to come explore and connect to the natural world. We hope that each visitor will have the opportunity to not only find a peaceful place to enjoy nature, but to also develop a deeper understanding of conservation and a passion for protecting our local watersheds.
