The Phinizy Swamp Nature Park is located within a few kilometers from DSM's DCNA site in Augusta, Georgia. It is a nature preserve that offers visitors the chance to see the blue heron, red-shouldered hawk, otter, alligator and the elusive bobcat in their natural setting, hear the thrills of the kingfisher and the chorus of a thousand tree frogs.

Wanda Chaote's Torch dream was to build an additional boardwalk and observation desk throughout the swamp in order to allow children and adults to explore a new area of this nature preserve. Also providing (DCNA) volunteers to man the 'Swampmobile' and the visitors' center is part of the initiative.
