Would you like to get outside more and explore Atlanta’s neighborhoods?  Trees Atlanta hosts volunteer projects in a different part of the city just about every Saturday year-round.  During the Fall and Winter (October-March) we plant trees, and during the Spring and Summer (April-September) we maintain our trees by mulching, pruning, and watering.  We also occasionally have special projects such as invasive plant removals or BeltLine Prairie projects throughout the year. 

Age Requirements:
12 and up for BeltLine prairie projects
No minimum for tree plantings (Oct.-Mar. only)
Under 16 must be accompanied by parent/guardian
16-17 can attend on their own with signed liability waiver

Woodlands Garden is an eight-acre garden and native plant habitat near downtown Decatur. In 2003, the Morse family donated 7 acres of greenspace to become this public garden. The staff and volunteers provide educational opportunities to learn more about the importance of native plants through workshops and signage, while also maintaining a balance of focusing on the space as an urban sanctuary full of natural serenity. The Garden’s mission is to preserve a woodland garden as an urban sanctuary for educating and engaging the community in the natural world.
Age Requirements:
​Under 16 must be accompanied by adult

Every day, we prepare 2,500 nutritious meals and provide 200 bags of healthy groceries to nourish and heal our clients. We serve San Francisco and Alameda Counties, engaging more than 125 volunteers every day to nourish our community.
