A little known greenspace gem in west Atlanta can be found at the Monte Vista Biblical Gardens cemetery. Located just off Hollywood Road and near the border of Proctor Creek. This greenspace offers a rare preserved woodland hilltop with almost no invasive species on the higher slopes. A true remnant of the original forest, this hill is a great place to view a wide variety of spring ephemeral wildflowers, several old growth trees, and a generally less disturbed forest with intact species networks and soils. Very large sycamore “relic” trees can still be found in the more disturbed floodplain of Proctor Creek. 

We’ll walk on un-maintained trails and off-trail in several locations, and of course we’ll be respectful of those who rest eternally on this beautifully forested hill.

Bring your binoculars, we’ll also listen for migrating songbirds and look for signs of other wildlife.
