Arthur Woody (April 1, 1884 – June 10, 1946) was an American conservationist and humanitarian.
He also is known for putting rainbow and brown trout in streams, restoring native brook trout, and restoring turkey and black bear populations and was the driving force behind Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area (established 1936), the first of its kind in Georgia and the nation.
He built lakes, fire towers, brought roads to the area, built Woody Gap School in Suches, Georgia (1940), was instrumental in building the Appalachian Trail through Georgia, and did much to help his mountain people during the Great Depression.
He, along with "Ranger Nick" Nicholson of Clayton, Georgia, are considered to be the two most important early figures in the history of the Chattahoochee National Forest.
Among the landmarks in the Chattahoochee National Forest honoring Woody is a trail through the Sosebee Cove, a 175-acre (0.71 km2) tract of prize hardwood that Woody purchased for the Forest Service that is now part of the Blue Ridge Ranger District.
