Henry County has already lost most of its open spaces available for hunting, and is losing more as I post this. Hunters/Fishers contribute more to conserve our natural lands than any other entity. Lets support their efforts!

Join us for our next Homeschool Friday program! We're learning all about beavers. Beavers are unique animals because of their dam-building abilities. In this lesson, we will learn the importance of dams and how they change the environment around them. Students will build their own dams to mimic beavers and see how dams impact rivers and streams.

Spaces are limited. Register today by emailing [email protected] or calling 770-960-3617.

The communities of the Southeast are as diverse as its natural landscapes. From the bucolic Chatham County, NC to bustling Atlanta Georgia, from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to the Gullah Geechee people of the Carolina, Georgia, and Florida coasts, and the rapidly growing Latino communities....

Rare plants are in their growing season at Arabia Mountain and its surrounding rock outcrops, including endemic (only occurring in a particular region or environment) and endangered species such as diamorpha, black-spored quillwort and snorkelwort. Many of these plants are adapted to and grow in the sand pits, puddles and vernal pools that occur on the rock.

⚠️ Please keep out of all sand pits and pools to ensure that these plants have a successful growing season and to protect their already limited populations.

⚠️ All pets must remain leashed on trails. Please keep your pets out of sand pits and pools as well!

It is imperative that you do your part to ensure that these plants keep returning each year for all to enjoy! We thank you!

NOISE!

The impacts of excessive noise on human health and welfare is well documented.

Henry County has a rather complicated noise ordinance and sets limits by decibel measures.

Henry County does not routinely monitor noise pollution and complaints. Of course there are 911 calls and the like, but beyond that it is incumbent on citizens to collect data to prove their complaint.

If a Data Center or other noise source, including that neighbor that likes to party at 3 a.m., has an effect on you, it is important that you have data.

Inexpensive, yet accurate, decibel meters are easily found on-line and can help you provide evidence of noise violations and concerns.

The meters can also be useful to show your teenager that the music/Tv etc. is too darn loud!

The Henry County Noise Ordinance can be found here:
