I don't really have a story, although my daughters spent their youths hiking the trails and catching salamanders after the first autumnal rains here, as well as catching their first glimpse of a male prothonotary warbler sitting on a branch and singing for a mate, at SCNC. Someone I will praise for his tireless work in keeping nature intact in Clarke County is Prof. Walter Cook who was instrumental in establishing the center. Walt taught recreation and related subjects for many years in what now is the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, and had a big role in establishing "natural resources" as part of the School name. Although that change was made after his retirement, if my memory serves me correctly, his spirit was guiding us all in supporting the change from Forest Resources to Forestry and Natural Resources.
