In this tree tour, discover the different ways that the outdoors—and specifically the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum - makes us healthy. We’ll cover the health benefits of the outdoors, public parks, green spaces, of certain plants and herbs, and even the Fountain of Youth! We’ll also talk about the wealth behind and generated by the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail, and who stands to benefit from its health effects. We’ll tie all of that in with Atlanta history, stretching back through the city’s founding and up through the present day.About the Tour Guide: Originally from outside of Pittsburgh, PA, Dan Rzewnicki is an Emory University resident in internal medicine with a background in public health who loves the outdoors. When not working, you might find him hiking, biking, or practicing yoga. He lived right off this section of the Atlanta Beltline when he moved to the City, so it’s a special place that he often explored on foot, was his launching pad to learn more about Atlanta history, and was even where he spent quite a bit of time getting to know his now fiancée, Megen.
About the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum: Established in 2006, the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum serves as a component of Atlanta’s urban forest, acting as a public garden, ecological corridor, and a learning landscape. The Arboretum is a dynamic collection of wild and cultivated tree and woody plant species, along with extensive southeastern grass and forb groundcover that showcases sustainable landscape management and demonstrates native plant use in an urban setting. Upon completion the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum will comprise over 100 acres across the 22-mile linear public garden, earning the title of the world’s longest accredited linear arboretum.
