Melon Bluff Nature Center

Melon Bluff Nature Center is a gateway to 450-acres of magnificent coastal Georgia landscape including maritime forest, salt marsh, and working forest.

Our Mission

The goal of the Melon Bluff Nature Center is to bring people
together from all walks of life through the enjoyment of nature and
to educate them about the Georgia Coast’s natural and cultural
heritage.

As the parent organization of the Melon Bluff Nature Center, the
Springfield Legacy Foundation strengthens people’s connection
with Georgia’s coastal land through wise use and conservation of
environmental, cultural, and historic resources in the greater North
Newport and Medway River Basins.
