This guided evening walk explores the history and trees of the Atlanta Beltline Northside Trail. We'll learn the history of the 1863 Civil War Battle of Peachtree Creek, the 1953 fight to the Supreme Court for integration of our city parks, and the latest news of the Atlanta Beltline. As we walk, we'll learn about our native trees; how to identify them; how they were used by the early colonists; and how to care for them today. We'll walk past some of the 500 trees recently planted by Trees Atlanta volunteers and visit some century old Champion Trees. We'll learn how to identify invasive plants, how to successfully manage them in your backyard and why Trees Atlanta advocates for native plants. Come learn with us on this beautiful walk.About the Guides: Maxine and Kent Watkins live in Sandy Springs. They enjoy hiking, biking and exploring new parks during their free time. They are experienced tour leaders supporting Trees Atlanta's mission by planting, pruning and sharing their love of trees with others.
