Oatland Island Wildlife Center

Oatland Island Wildlife Center is a nature education facility in Savannah, Georgia, operated by Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools. Located on a former dairy farm and historic plantation site, the 175-acre property combines wildlife habitats, forested trails, wetlands, salt marsh areas, and historic structures. The center focuses on environmental education and provides a setting where visitors can learn about native Georgia wildlife and coastal ecosystems.

The wildlife collection includes animals such as wolves, alligators, bobcats, reptiles, birds of prey, and other native species that serve as education ambassadors. Visitors can explore walking trails that pass through natural habitats and animal areas, including the center's Animal Trail. Educational programs include school field trips, camps, guided activities, and community events designed around ecology, wildlife, and conservation topics. With its emphasis on outdoor exploration and regional habitats, Oatland Island Wildlife Center suits travelers interested in nature study, native wildlife, and a quieter educational experience rather than a traditional zoo focused on large collections of species.
