University of West Alabama Cahaba Biodiversity Center

Welcome to the University of West Alabama Cahaba Biodiversity Center, located on Old Birmingham Road in the United Kingdom. Our institution is dedicated to furthering our understanding of the natural world through research, education, and conservation efforts.

At the Cahaba Biodiversity Center, we bring together scientists, researchers, and students from a variety of disciplines to study the diverse ecosystems of the region. Our focus is primarily on the Cahaba River, one of the most biologically rich waterways in the United States. Through our research, we aim to better understand the plants, animals, and other organisms that call this river home and to identify ways to protect and preserve their habitat.

In addition to research, we also offer educational programs for students of all ages. Our courses cover a wide range of topics related to biodiversity and conservation, and are designed to foster a love of nature and an appreciation for the delicate balance of ecosystems. We also work with local schools to provide hands-on learning opportunities and internships for students interested in pursuing careers in science or conservation.

As a point of interest in the area, we welcome visitors to come and explore the unique beauty of the Cahaba River watershed. Our grounds feature a variety of habitats, from forests to wetlands, that provide homes to a variety of plant and animal species. Visitors can participate in guided tours, attend workshops, or simply stroll through our gardens and observe the natural splendor of the area.

We are committed to demonstrating the importance of biodiversity and conservation to the wider community, and we strive to inspire our visitors to become active stewards of the natural world.
