🙏 Thanks to your support, we’re able to work with Woods Keeper to restore the park's native habitats and tackle invasive plants. 🌿 Over the past month, the team completed an inventory of plants at the Constitution Spring native garden, and removed chaff flower remnants at the wetlands and bush honeysuckle from the Cherokee slope. They’re also targeting porcelain berry, an invasive plant you may find in your own yard. 🌿 Porcelain berry is important to remove before its pretty, colorful fruit ripens, as the seeds have a very high germination rate. By getting to them early, we can help prevent them from spreading, and give native plants a better chance to thrive. 🌱 💚

🙏We’re so grateful to all the volunteers who joined us for our recent workday at the park!🌳Together, they tidied up and pruned plants around historic Erskine Fountain, spread mulch to prevent erosion and protect tree roots, removed invasive plants, and trimmed the hedges at the Park Care Center. 📣A special shoutout to the Clark Atlanta University students for their great vibes and willingness to jump right in and get to work. As a small organization, we rely on volunteers to help care for the park. 💚 Thank you all for your hard work and support!
