Historic Banning Mills Conservation
Our Mission
The mission of The Lodges at Banning Mills Retreat and Conservation Center is twofold.
First, we seek to provide and develop leadership training programs that promote Christian values based on the Fruit of the Spirit, as taught in Galatians 5:22. Through camps, team building, and adventure-based experiences, we serve youth, families, churches, and organizations within a hospitality mission that offers accommodations and meeting space for personal growth, enrichment, relaxation, study, and bonding
Second, we are dedicated to preserving the unique and pristine ecosystems of the Snake Creek Gorge and the Chattahoochee Watershed, as well as researching, promoting, and safeguarding the immense historical value of the Snake Creek Gorge and the Banning Mills Township—recognized as the Banning Mills–Snake Creek Industrial Archaeological District on the National Register of Historic Places—located within the Gorge itself. We strive to increase community awareness of this special area through educational programs, publications, and conservation initiatives.
Galatians 5:22 – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Our Current Need
Enclosure updates and medical care for Libby, the newest member of our feathered staff.
Libby came to us recently after her wing was broken when she unfortunately collided with a box truck. The break is at a location of her wing that will permanently affect her ability to fly long distances or hunt for food, making survival in the wild almost impossible. She is still a juvenile, approximately 2 years old and does not yet have the iconic white head, but she is huge!
She is currently recovering from her injury, and the vets think she might recover enough to fly short distances and may be able to join our nature show in the future.
Please consider donating to help us give Libby the best care and transition to her new life.

We use our reservation booking system to accept donations so that we don't have to add the fees that a third party business charges to collect donations. 100% of the money collected here is used towards our mission The verbiage on the donation page is generic for activities and asks you to "select your passes." You can choose the amount you would like to give there. You can add a quantity of "1" or increase the quantity to reach the amount you would like to donate.
