Callaway Gardens is owned by the Ida Cason Callaway Foundation, a non-profit, 501c(3) organization dedicated to land stewardship and environmental education. The foundation provides educational workshops, seminars, lectures, exhibits and a variety of interactive experiences to teach people about the living world around them. It is involved with conservation, restoration methods and research on plants and wildlife. The Foundation is supported largely by donations from individuals, corporate sponsorships and grants. We appreciate our corporate sponsors who provide the Ida Cason Callaway Foundation with funding for many programs that would otherwise be impossible to provide to our guests. Our high level of educational and environmental programming is maintained with the assistance of our Corporate Sponsors. Corporate sponsorships connect corporations with Callaway Gardens' Ida Cason Callaway Foundation in cooperative, productive relationships. These dynamic relationships benefit both the participating business and the Gardens. Sponsorships come in different shapes and sizes, but all have some common elements including promotions of the sponsoring business to selected Callaway Gardens audiences and the opportunity for the business to be positioned as an educational and/or environmental supporter.

Callaway Gardens has long been recognized as a leader in implementing conservation strategies designed to protect this area's unique ecosystem. We provide a living, natural classroom that offers a rich variety of ecological and educational experiences for our visitors, thus enabling them to better care for the natural world we call home. Our sponsors help fund educational programs for over 30,000 school children as well as our other visitors.
| For the past 10 years, Callaway Gardens has been the setting for more than 4,000 fifth graders to explore the wonderful, creative, fulfilling and sometimes zany world of arts. The mission for this program is to create an enhanced sensitivity to nature through the arts and to encourage young people's pursuit of the arts by providing visual and performing arts experiences in the natural setting of Callaway Gardens. |
Nothing is more breathtaking than a bald eagle spreading its wings to show its majesty and strength. In our daily Birds of Prey shows at the Callaway Gardens Discovery Center, a variety of raptors, including a bald eagle, are dedicated to teaching about the delicate balance between man and nature. These fantastic creatures demonstrate their innate qualities as they fly freely overhead during these fascinating shows. In 2005 over 133,000 visitors attended the show, set in a beautiful amphitheater on the shore of Mountain Creek Lake.

The Preserve at Callaway Gardens is dedicated to the wise stewardship of our natural resources and to offering new, exciting, environmental educational programs. Of all of Callaway Gardens' land, this parcel is in the most natural state. The land is a demonstration area for ecosystem restoration, sustainable forestry, watershed protection and habitat improvement for wildlife. A professional conservation staff manages The Preserve lands. Prescribed fire, sustainable foresty, plantings and nesting structures for wildlife, as well as the removal of exotic species are some of the management techniques used to create and maintain healthy ecosystems across the property.
