EcoAddendum

Eco-A partners with Outdoor Afro on this walk in honor of Black History month. Lionel Hampton-Beecher Hills Nature Preserve is one of the largest parks in the City of Atlanta. Nestled in quiet, forested neighborhoods in the City's southwestern quadrant, Hampton Beecher Park holds remarkably large areas of healthy native forest, often with very few invasive species. This 200+ acre park had been slated for development but was purchased by the City park largely through the work of Bruce Morton…

We invite Eco-A volunteers, neighbors and friends of Grove Park to participate in the continued restoration efforts of this special and unique old-growth forest remnant. Your volunteer work will help us remove invasive species carefully, without using any harsh treatments that could harm the native forest we are trying to restore. We'll share the story of why this forest is so special, and we'll end with a short walk to a beautiful section of Proctor Creek.  Our volunteers have made great progress by…

 "Go With the Flow," Utoy Creek in Herbert Greene Park, photo © Kat Anderson Herbert Greene Park is a little off the beaten path for most Atlantans, but it's truly a greenspace gem, located near the Boulder Park neighborhood, just outside the perimeter. Boulder Park is indeed named for the ancient, rounded rock formations found along the west side of Atlanta and extending through Palmetto, GA, and we'll see some of these in Herbert Greene.  We'll walk on natural trails…
