Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve, also known as the Kreher Preserve and Nature Center (KPNC), is a {{convert|120|acre|km2|0}} nature preserve located between Auburn and Opelika in Lee County, Alabama. Established in 1993 through a gift,[1] it is operated as a non-profit outreach program of Auburn University's School of Forestry & Wildlife Sciences. The preserve includes a nature playground,[2] amphitheater, wheel-chair accessible 150-seat multi-level meeting area and fire pit, and a covered educational pavilion.[3] There are interpretive signs along the 30 trails that cover 5 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 protection and educational purposes.[4]
