Embark on an unforgettable adventure into the heart of nature with this 2-hour guided hike at the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area's Island Ford co-led by Trees Atlanta and the Chattahoochee National Park Conservancy. This quiet area provides the perfect opportunity to explore the trees of the Park and begin to identify invasive species common in this area. Learn about the Chattahoochee National Park Conservancy efforts to preserve the park units along the river. The CRNRA hosted 3.5 million park visits in 2020 - that's more than the Grand Canyon and Yosemite! While on your visit, you can learn more about how the City of Sandy Springs is participating in Trees Atlanta's Million Tree Initiative and how you can get involved. There is a $5 parking fee on site.
About the Docents: Maxine and Kent Watkins live in Sandy Spring. They enjoy hiking and exploring new parks during their free time. They've been supporting Trees Atlanta's mission during years by planting, pruning and leading tours.
