Bowman Ecological Study Center

 Bowman Ecological Study Center (1981) is a protected area in Prattville, Alabama, that provides space for students to collect and to study samples of plants, trees, and aquatic life.  The Center includes a cabin, pond, and grassy areas.  The Center and an endowment for the continued maintenance of the facility were a gift from Dorothy Bowman of Prattville.
