🌿💚 Oatland Island Wildlife Center is honored to recognize Ann Richardson, a dedicated Oatland volunteer, for her generous $10,000 donation in loving memory of her son, Dickie.

Through Friends of Oatland Island, this meaningful gift will support the renovation of Oatland’s greenhouse, creating new opportunities for hands-on environmental education and community engagement while honoring Dickie’s passion for community gardens.

We are deeply grateful to Ann for her continued generosity, volunteer service, and commitment to Oatland’s educational mission. Her gift will help Dickie’s legacy grow for years to come. 🌱

👏 Congratulations to our own Tim Cornish, Educational Program Specialist at Oatland Island Wildlife Center, on this well-deserved recognition for his outstanding contributions to science education!

We’re proud of Tim’s dedication to inspiring curiosity, creating meaningful hands-on learning experiences and supporting educators and students across the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System.

We are proud to recognize Tim Cornish, Educational Program Specialist at Oatland Island Wildlife Center, for his outstanding leadership in science education.
Tim works to connect meaningful, hands-on science experiences with classroom learning for students across the Savannah-Chatham School System. His impact extends beyond Oatland, supporting educators and students in more than 60 schools from PreK through 12th grade.
One of Tim’s most notable contributions has been leading the redesign of Oatland’s 5th-grade field trip experience. By intentionally aligning activities with life science standards for Georgia Standards of Excellence, he has transformed a traditional field trip into an authentic learning opportunity where students can apply classroom concepts in real-world settings.
Through innovative outreach programs, strong collaboration with educators, and a commitment to high-quality science instruction, Tim continues to strengthen science learning opportunities for students and teachers throughout the district.
Thank you, Tim, for inspiring curiosity, building connections, and advancing science education across Georgia!

🎃HALLOWEEN HIKE REMINDERS! 👻

We can’t wait to see you at the 2026 Oatland Island Halloween Hike this Friday and Saturday! Before you join us for a spooky night in the forest, here are a few important things to remember!

🎟️ TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE! Tickets will NOT be available at the door. Purchase your tickets at oatland.sccpss.com and make sure you're checked in during the arrival window listed on your ticket.

📱 Have your tickets ready! After parking, head to the check-in tables on the lawn in front of the Main Building. Please have your tickets and QR codes ready to scan. Children will receive wristbands at check-in, and wristbands must be on before entering the trail.

🚗 Please carpool if possible! Parking is limited. When parking, please wait until the car next to you has stopped before opening your doors. This helps us fit as many vehicles as possible into the lot.

👨‍👩‍👧 Children must be accompanied by an adult throughout the event.

🦟 Bring your bug spray! The Halloween Hike takes place outdoors in the forest, so come prepared. Additional activities will be offered both indoors and outdoors.

🚻 Restrooms are available in the Main Building only.
