About this Event
Join Trees Atlanta Executive Director, Greg Levine, to learn about the unique urban forest in the historic West End neighborhood. Trees Atlanta has been planting trees in this neighborhood yearly for the past thirty years. The neighborhood has been a strong supporter of increasing canopy coverage in the neighborhood through the addition of trees. Hear about neighborhood tree advocates including Brenda Arrington. She left a legacy of a diverse urban forest, where unusual street trees can vary from house to house. The tour will begin and end at The Wren’s Nest and will allow participants to explore the campus and trees that help to make this a special location in the neighborhood. Plan to stay later and visit The Wren’s Nest on your own with storytelling at 1pm.
About The Wren’s Nest: The Wren’s Nest is the historic home of author and journalist Joel Chandler Harris. It is a cultural center, house museum, and National Historic Landmark in Atlanta's West End neighborhood.
