The Clifton Institute is a non-profit organization located in Warrenton, VA, dedicated to promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of nature. Our mission is to study the ecology of our region, restore habitat, and preserve native biodiversity. At The Clifton Institute, we offer a wide range of products and services to support our mission.

We provide environmental education programs for people of all ages, including field trips, monthly family programs, summer camps, and college internships. Our 900-acre field station, comprising forests, grasslands, shrub fields, and wetlands, offers a picturesque and easily accessible location for all our programs. As part of our commitment to restoration, we work towards restoring habitats for native plants and animals.

We also conduct ecological research and provide educational resources for landowners interested in conservation efforts. If you're interested in visiting our field station or participating in our programs, please visit our website to view our calendar of events and volunteer opportunities. Additionally, you can become a Friend of The Clifton Institute with a minimum annual donation of $40 to support our work.

Join us in our mission to connect with and preserve the wonders of nature!
