Mission The mission of the Clinton Community Nature Center is to create a place for people to enjoy and learn about nature in all its aspects.  The CCNC is a 501(c) 3  nonprofit (IRS EIN 64-0822656), registered as a charity with the Mississippi Secretary of State.  CCNC consists of 33 acres of woodlands near the center of "Olde Towne" Clinton operated as a Nature Center open to the public without charge.  Currently, we operate 10 programs providing education and information about nature, gardening, and the history of this unique place.  In addition to formal programs, the Center maintains 2.5 miles of all weather walking trails with plants and historic sites labeled and benches where one may sit in solitude and appreciate nature.  In 2006, we had over 18,000 visitors and anticipate more than 20,000 this year.  We are dependent on memberships, gifts, grants, and fund raisers for support.  We have three part-time employees.   All other work and programing is done by volunteers.  We invite you to participate in any or all of the programs, become a CCNC member, or make a contribution, but more importantly, we invite you to come and enjoy the beauty and solitude of this marvelous place.
