The Clinton Community Nature Center (CCNC) is a non-profit organization formed to preserve a precious and historic tract of woods donated by the Price Family, right in the heart of Clinton, Mississippi. Since opening our doors in 1997, CCNC strives to conserve our land and historic features while developing a place for the appreciation, enjoyment, and study of nature.

Signs explaining the area's history and native foliage can be found throughout CCNC's 32.2 acres planted with native vegetation.  Its 2.5 miles of beautiful, hardwood forest walking trails include 0.4 miles of the historic Natchez Trace, aa well as the 1872 Sumner Hill School site - the first public school for African-Americans in Hinds County. Our trail system connects with the nature trail at Quisenberry Library, providing additional access points within the community.
