BeltLine Tree Planting Volunteers

March 20, 2008

Hi all, We finally set a date for the 1st tree planting in the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum. The volunteer tree planting will be April 5th at 9am. We will meet at the new Rose Circle Park Plaza. Please have all volunteers sign up with me greg@treesatlanta.org. We need help getting this info to as many neighbors as possible. We hope also to tag the young trees to be preserved in the schools wooded triangle. Path will be clearing some of the underbrush at the schools request, but we would like to preserve many of the healthy young tree and have them focus on weedy and exotic invasive species only.

Please pass the information on to all those who would like to help, but make sure they sign up before hand. I would like to limit the total volunteers to 75. Any more than that they will not get to plant.

We will also be mulching Muse Street and Rose Circle Park’s trees on April 19th we will be meeting separately at both locations. People can also sign up to help with these projects.

Thanks
Greg

Blank Foundation helps keep Beltline in the shade

“Another dream for the Beltline. Create the world’s longest linear arboretum.

“That dream received a major boost last week when the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation gave $350,000 to Trees Atlanta to help build the first “model mile” of what eventually would be part of a 22-mile arboretum that would follow the Beltline corridor, a planned 22-mile loop of transit, trails and development around intown neighborhoods.” Read more…
