Description
Tree Identification hike with Trees Atlanta
Sunday, November 3rd
9:00 - 11:00 AM
Join this 2-hour guided hike at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area's (CRNRA) Powers Island, co-led by Trees Atlanta and the Chattahoochee National Park Conservancy! This is a more quiet spot that will provide the right opportunity to explore the trees of the area and begin to identify common invasive species. Learn about the Chattahoochee National Park Conservancy’s efforts to preserve the park units along the river. The CRNRA hosted 3.5 million park visits in 2020 - that's more than the Grand Canyon and Yosemite! While on your visit, you can learn more about how the City of Sandy Springs is participating in Trees Atlanta's One Million Tree Initiative and how you can get involved.
About the Trees Atlanta Docents: Maxine and Kent Watkins live in Sandy Springs. In their free time, they enjoy hiking and exploring new parks. They've supported Trees Atlanta's mission for years by planting, pruning, and leading tours.
Facilities: Restrooms are located in the parking lot
Note: Please, no children under 12 and no dogs.
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate, but the narrow dirt path can be challenging for those with mobility issues.
Limit: 20 persons
There is a $5.00 fee to park at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, or use your annual CRNRA pass or an America the Beautiful pass.
