Ralph David Abernathy Tree Plantings

Commercial Streetscape Improvements

In 2009 the Westview Community Organization collaborated with Trees Atlanta to have Princeton Elms planted along the western side of Ralph David Abernathy Blvd near the intersections of East Ontario Ave and Inman St. The trees have made a tremendous impact on the streetscape along this commercial strip.

Since then the community has aimed to continue this streetscape beautification, such as is outlined in the Westview Master Plan, and thanks to the continued efforts of both the WCO and Trees Atlanta additional trees have been planted. More Princeton Elm’s have been added on the western side of Ralph David Abernathy Blvd, between East and West Ontario Ave; Parrotia’s (Persian Ironwood) have been planted on the eastern side of Ralph David Abernathy Blvd; and Ginkgo’s have been planted along Inman St at the intersection of Ralph David Abernathy Blvd.

Fall Clean-up

Fall Work Day

It was a busy day for Westview, and thankfully the weather was perfect. The Westview Community Organization organized a fall clean-up and Trees Atlanta had volunteers plant over 100 trees along Westwood Avenue.

Rogers Avenue Trees Atlanta Planting

Rogers Avenue Trees

Although the Atlanta January “blizzard” initially got in the way of the scheduled Trees Atlanta planting on Rogers Avenue, the rescheduled event finally took place on January 22nd. Volunteers both from inside and outside of the neighborhood came to plant trees along the landscape strips and front yards.

Tree Planting

Trees Atlanta will be planting on Rogers Avenue on Saturday morning, January 8, 2011.

If you live on Rogers Avenue and would like a FREE tree for your yard please contact info@westviewatlanta.com. Here is a list of the trees available:

  • White oak
  • Southern red oak
  • Princeton American elm
  • Golden Globe ginkgo
  • Shangri-La ginkgo
  • Wildfire blackgum
  • American linden (basswood)
  • Nuttall oak
  • Tulip-poplar
  • Riverbirch
  • Red maple
  • American hornbeam
  • Overcup oak

Westview is losing a lot of old growth trees because of age. (The oaks in the list above are old growth trees, i.e., long lasting and large.) These trees make Westview so beautiful. You can establish a legacy for future residents of Westview by planting now, while at the same time having a nice, free, tree for your yard.

Additionally, smaller trees will be planted in the grass strip between the sidewalk and the roadway.

Trees Atlanta Lucile Avenue

Trees Atlanta Photos

On Saturday, October 24th Trees Atlanta was once again generous enough to focus their attention on Westview. Volunteers from outside the neighborhood and the community itself spent the morning planting trees along Lucile Avenue between the village center at Ralph David Abernathy and the neighborhood edge at Langhorn.

Additional photos can be viewed at Westview’s Facebook group.

Trees Atlanta Planting

Trees Atlanta will be back in the Westview neighborhood on Saturday, October 24th at 9:00am to plant approximately 52 trees on Lucile Avenue. There will be two kinds of service berries in the street row and a few cedars will be planted as end caps. Westview neighbors are encouraged to participate in this beautification effort in their community!

Trees for Westview

Despite weather in the low 40s and an uncomfortable drizzle Trees Atlanta, along with their volunteers and Westview neighbors, planted 40 new trees in the neighborhood. Due to the recent sidewalk and street work along East and West Ontario a few of the large trees were removed. The City of Atlanta’s ordinance requires any removed trees to be replaced with an equal number of inches. In place of the old trees American Elms, Winged Elms, Sioux Crepe Myrtles, and Magnolias were planted along West Ontario and Stokes.
