Eco-A joins Friends of South Bend Park and Sustainable Lakewood in new efforts to restore this special park located in South Atlanta near the Lakewood Amphitheatre. 

Each South Bend Park Stewardship event features educational as well as volunteer activities. We’ll learn about the special features of the urban forest found in the park, including key tree species, edible seeds and fruits, songbirds and raptors, wildlife, and indicator plants as well as the invasive species that threaten the health of our parks’ forests. Each event also includes a volunteer opportunity to help restore the park’s landscape.

Stewardship event attendees will become experts on the natural values of South Bend Park, and will be trained to share their knowledge and skills with friends and family as well as lead other groups of volunteers. 

This is our last Stewardship event of our first series, and we’ll mostly focus on revisiting what we’ve learned, and possibly remove a little Japanese Chaff Flower, then we’ll celebrate! 

Note: Space is limited and preferences are made for neighborhood residents, leaders, and pre-registered South Bend Park Eco-A Stewardship participants.
