EcoAddendum believes that it is possible to have healthy, diverse forests in the Georgia piedmont – including the Atlanta area and other urban areas. Not only are such high quality forests possible, they are also essential to the quality of life for all who live here. EcoAddendum blends ecology, horticulture, design, and forest management to create and enhance sustainable and biodiverse landscapes.

The principles that guide our work:
• Preserving and planting locally native plants to support the biodiversity unique to the Georgia piedmont, providing food and habitat for the many life forms that comprise our natural ecosystems.

• Providing sustainable designs that are informed by the way plants occur in nature, creating plant combinations that are both beautiful and appropriate to the natural environment and that provide a sense of place.

• Promoting responsible stewardship to counteract the negative impacts from the modern world and restore natural plant communities.

• Reaching out through education: the more we know about the living world we encounter every day, the more likely we are to treat it respectfully and responsibly.
