ReForest ATL

Great turnout for the W**d Wrangle at Rucker Park today. A lot Chinese privet and Japanese honeysuckle was removed.

If you are by Grant Park, stop by and take a look!

Taking a moment to look back at the restoration work done over the last week in this riparian area alongside Turkey Creek here in Oxford, Ga. This area was completely overtaken by non native invasive species like Chinese privet and eleagnus, and as you can see from our debris piles it has been no small task to clear them out. We have been working along this series of trails just north of the Emory campus for almost a year now, and we plan to finish before the end of January. Funding for this project comes from a Trees Across Georgia grant funded by the US Forest Service via the Georgia Forestry Commission, we are very grateful for their help making projects like this one possible.

We had an amazing time this past weekend! Got to hang out with a 2 story tall ent and met so many amazing people at the DeKalb Green New Deal event and the TWO volunteer events we led in local parks...so inspiring!

Check here and our page for upcoming volunteer opportunities, tabling events, and other fun ways to get involved with preserving and restoring our native biodiversity!

Some beautiful fall color from an array of native plants planted in the past few years.
