EcoAddendum

Join Eco-A and co-host James Williams,  Lakewood Community resident and Project Forester, for a richly informative walk to educate homeowners and all residents about the easy-to-tell signs a tree might become a fall risk. Trees don't fall for no reason! A tree falling should never be a surprise, and should not happen when we check our trees for signs of problems. Nearly all trees will tell you they are having challenges years before they fail -- if you know what signs…

Join us for another partnership event with our friends at Piedmont Women's Heart Health: a Naturalist Walk at the Phinizy Swamp Nature Park, an 1100 acre natural area in Augusta, GA. Augusta sits at the break point between the Georgia Piedmont and the Coastal Plain, so many species we find here are common in both eco-zones. The park is located in the floodplain of the Savannah River and contains meandering trails and boardwalks through woodlands, wetlands and open marsh. Ponds, pockets of…

Join us for a walk through DeKalb County's Glen Emerald Park, located just south of East Atlanta in the South River Watershed. This park hosts open recreation areas as well as a native forest with lake and wetlands that attracts a surprisingly high diversity of birds. Tis season we'll likely see winter migrants in addition to year-round locals, and possibly visiting waterbirds. We'll also visit the old stone garden feature among a stand of older oaks. We'll walk approximately 1-1.5…

Herbert Greene Park is one of Atlanta's less well-known parks, located just outside I-285 in the Boulder Park neighborhood. True to its location, we find large boulders that are part of the Ben Hill granite outcrops. This forest also contains a beautiful stretch of Utoy Creek, a few miles before its outfall into the the Chattahoochee River.   We'll walk approximately 1.5-2 miles on natural surface trails along the banks of Utoy Creek, which at this point has developed the character of a small river.…

The West Palisades is of our favorite walks along Chattahoochee National Recreation Area trails. We'll see an impressive diversity of trees, due in part to the variety of ecosystems from ridge to river, and the age and history of the forest we find here. We'll walk approximately 2-2.5 miles on natural trails with some hills. We'll have the opportunity to test our winter tree ID skills, and we may take a short off trail creek walk.  To register (RSVP) click HERE …
