Registration Open for Conserve the 4-0-Forest 2023

Trees Atlanta announces the nine project sites selected for the 2023 Conserve the 4-0-Forest volunteer weekend, Friday, April 21 and Saturday, April 22.

Volunteers may register for these 2023 project sites.

Friday, April 21

Saturday, April 22

 

Please register to help us properly evaluate headcount for each location.

  • Volunteers who register for a project will receive specific meeting location information via email.
  • Volunteers will learn how to identify common invasive plant species found in the area where they are working, how to remove them, and why they should be removed.
  • In addition to good old-fashioned elbow grease, volunteers will use hand saws, hand pruners, and weed wrenches for removal.
  • Trees Atlanta will provide tools, gloves, and other materials needed for the project, but if you have any of the tools mentioned, please feel free to bring them. We request only the tools listed are used and that you take full responsibility of their use.
  • It is HIGHLY recommended to wear long pants, long-sleeve shirt, and close-toed shoes.
  • After the invasive removal portion of the project, volunteers can choose to stay and join us on a tour of the greenspace to learn about its history and the watershed in which it is located.
