Accidents of history have left Atlanta with true remnants of the original forests of our region, including some areas with old growth trees and native plant communities.

From 9-10 AM, join Eco-A Director Kathryn Kolb at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia for a talk and discussion about what makes Atlanta’s urban forest so special and different from almost every other major city on our globe. Kathryn discusses how to identify these special places, which might be found in your back yard.

The 2017 Native Plant Symposium is hosted by the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. Click here for details and to register: http://botgarden.uga.edu/eventdetail.php?id=92
