In springtime, the only pretty ring time
Birds sing, hey ding
A-ding, a-ding
Sweet lovers love the spring--
William Shakespeare
Yes, it's true. Spring is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate the beauty of the season than with our annual
Spring Wildflower Hikes! Spring also means the kids are out of school for a whole week! What are they going to do? We've got your answer:
Exploratopia! Spring Break Camp is back. However you choose to honor this most auspicious of seasons, make sure to come out to Owl's Hill. We can't wait to see you!

Consider Sponsoring a Program.
When you sponsor a program or project at Owl's Hill Nature Sanctuary, you are investing in the education of Earth's future stewards, creating opportunities for the public to experience nature as it used to be and assisting with the protection and restoration of Tennessee's diverse and beautiful native habitats.

Summer camp at Owl's Hill provides rewarding opportunities for campers to learn about wildlife, nature, and the environment in a natural setting through games, hikes, exploration, crafts and live animal programs.
