Forest Restoration with Trees Atlanta May 4th, 9am-12

4/25/2024

 
Picture
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)
  • Gloves: Bring your own work gloves.
  • Recommended clothing: Long pants and long sleeves are recommended as you will be in close contact with plants that could scratch your skin. All volunteers need closed-toed shoes or boots, clothes that can get dirty.
  • Tools: Trees Atlanta provides necessary tools, but if you'd like to bring your own, any of the following tools would be helpful: hand pruners, hand saw.
  • Drinking water: We strongly recommend you bring drinking water in reusable containers. No one-time-use plastic bottles, please.
  • Allergy medication: If you've experienced life-threatening allergic reactions to insects, please come prepared with your own emergency medicine, such as an auto-injector or oral medication. Please notify the coordinator of your need for medication in the case of an allergic attack.
  • You may also want: Sunscreen and bug spray as needed, snacks as needed (Trees Atlanta will not provide any of these items).
Please Be Advised
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.
