Kreher Preserve and Nature Center (KPNC), previously known as the Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve, is a 120 acres (0.49 km2) nature preserve located between Auburn and Opelika in Lee County, Alabama. Established in 1993 through a gift, it is operated as a non-profit outreach program of Auburn University's School of Forestry & Wildlife Sciences. The nature center includes a nature playground, amphitheater, wheel-chair accessible 150-seat multi-level meeting area and fire pit, and a covered educational pavilion. There are interpretive signs along the 30 trails that cover 6 miles, restrooms, and drinking fountains. The KPNC offers environmental education and outreach programs including animal encounters and guided walks, day camps and pre-school programs. The KPNC was established by Dr. Louise Kreher Turner (1914-2012) and her husband Frank Allen Turner, who donated and endowed the property to Auburn University for conservation and educational purposes.
