UHNA has a long association with Trees Atlanta and over recent years have planted over 400 trees together in and around the Park. Help promote a healthy plant community and a sustainable forest in Underwood Hills. This work improves habitat for humans who use the greenspace for recreation and wildlife that call it home. Each session begins with a short workshop. Activities include removing invasive plants such as Chinese privet, Rose of Sharon and Eleagnus in a densely wooded area off trail. Physical activity such as bending, pulling, lifting, and kneeling is required. Forest restoration can be physically strenuous - be ready to break a sweat and get dirty and learn a lot while doing it! Teens can register for Community Service Hours at myvoluntier.com Others please register with Trees Atlanta (so we have enough tools) What to wear and bring with you (see picture)
In forested areas we sometimes encounter yellow jackets, poison ivy, and mosquitoes. Your coordinator will help you learn to identify any plants or animals of concern and notify you if they see any present in the area. Comments are closed.
