Upcoming events and volunteer days
The Atlanta Memorial Park Conservancy hosts walking tours with Trees Atlanta and Eco-Addendum in the park! Read below for a description of the tours and click here to see when the next tour will take place!
Tour Docents, Maxine and Kent Watkins explore the Northwest Atlanta BeltLine Connector Trail adjacent to the Bobby Jones Golf Course. Learn about the history of the area and about its trees on this guided walk. Docents will also share information about the 1865 Battle of Peachtree Creek and the 1955 battle for integration of the city golf courses and parks.
On the west side of the park, Tour Docent Leslie Edwards takes visitors along the nature trail where Peachtree Creek winds through an urban forest with large trees that are nearly a century old. Leslie will focus on the history of the park, urban ecology, and why the trees are vital to people and wildlife.
Kathryn Kolb of Eco-Addendum will take attendees on a Forest Intelligence walk. She will share new research that shows not only how plants and trees think individually but also how “conscious” interactions between many species create stable healthy ecosystems.
