ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER

Opened in 2004, the newly renovated Confederate Hall at Stone Mountain Park is now home to the Park's Environmental Education Center.  It focuses on educating area school students, as well as park guests, about the geology and ecology of Stone Mountain and the surrounding area. Larry was the principle photographer for this new educational exhibit.  Larry has felt for years that enviromental education needed to be showcased at Stone Mountain Park.  He is very pleased and excited to see it finally happening and proud to have his photography displayed as a part of it.  Larry and Julie's new book on the park's natural areas will be based in part on this exhibit, and many of the popular photographs used in the exhibit will also appear in the book.  For more on Stone Mountain Park visit www.stonemountainpark.org.

Many of Larry’s photographs can currently be seen in three other permanent exhibits at Stone Mountain Park, as well as in park brochures on natural history and quarrying at the park:

1) Stone Mountain Interpretive Center
The park’s Interpretive Center is located at the top of Stone Mountain. The exhibit highlights the history, geology, and wildlife of the park. Over sixty of Larry’s photos are on display there.

2) Nature Trails
Stone Mountain’s nature trail exhibits, located in the park’s natural district, are exclusively Larry’s photos. This is a self-guided interpretive trail highlighting the park’s diverse and interesting plant life.

3) Quarry Exhibit
The park’s quarry exhibit, illustrating the history of the quarry industry at the park, as well as wildlife indigenous to this section of the park, contains nearly fifty more of Larry’s photos.
