Upcoming events and volunteer days
Walking Tour with Trees Atlanta: Atlanta Memorial Park – 2023 date coming soon!
Join us for a walking tour with Leslie Edwards, co-author of “The Natural Communities of Georgia“, as we explore the westside of Atlanta Memorial Park, where Peachtree Creek winds through an urban forest with large trees that are nearly a century old. We will focus on the history of the park in conjunction with its trees and why they are vital to people and wildlife. The extensive restoration work of Trees Atlanta and the Atlanta Memorial Park Conservancy will be highlighted throughout. Meeting place will be the playground at 651 Wesley Drive NW.
