Ahem...can we have your attention please...

For the first time in ECO Center history, we are hosting a trivia night!! Could this be a dumb idea if no one wants to participate with us? Yes. But as a famous Harry once said, "Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this...and totally redeem yourself!" So help us make it a success and come test your natural resource-themed trivia with us! Link below for more info and to sign-up.

The Rome-Floyd ECO Center was incredibly honored to receive a Preservation Award from the Rome Area Heritage Foundation earlier this month! They recognized us for our efforts of stewardship and preservation of our building, the historic 1893 Oostanaula River pump station. We are thankful to them for this acknowledgement and celebrate the history of Rome with them!

Drop-in between 10:00am and 2:00pm on Saturday, June 27 to see what the buzz is about!

Bird Nirds is getting down and dirty with some interesting species this month, including the brown-headed cowbird! Come learn about the unique (and somewhat controversial!) methods that this bird uses to raise its young.
**Notice that June's program is taking place a week earlier than normal due to scheduling conflicts.**
