Trees Atlanta is a nationally recognized non-profit community group committed to protecting and improving Atlantas urban forest through planting, conserving, and educating. Founded in 1985, Trees Atlanta works tirelessly to address Atlantas tree loss, protect its forests, and create new greenspace. Empowered by its wonderful community of volunteers, Trees Atlanta serves the metro Atlanta area, and has grown to become one of Atlantas most widely known and supported non-profit organizations.

The Atlanta Beltline is a sustainable redevelopment initiative that links a network of public parks, multi-use trails, and light-rail transit along a primary paved corridor repurposed from a historic 22-mile railroad loop. Encircling downtown Atlanta, it directly connects 45 neighborhoods and encourages walking over driving as residents move between places to live, work, and play. With nearly 2 million annual trail users, the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum offers an exceptional opportunity to educate the public about ecological restoration, the use of native plants, and the role of urban ecology in reconnecting fragmented communities. As part of Atlantas urban forest, the Arboretum functions as an ecological corridor and a living learning environment that supports education, community science, and research.
