What: Trees Atlanta

Goal: Help promote healthy plant communities and forest sustainability in Frazer Forest.

Trees Atlanta is an organization that works to mitigate Atlanta’s tree loss, protect its forests, and increase its tree canopy. GBA is pleased to be a guest at this event.

Due to the popularity of this event, volunteers are limited and will be registered on a first come, first served basis.

What to wear and bring with you
