Mountain Way Common Tree Planting

Let’s Plant Trees!  Friends of Mountain Way Common & Livable Buckhead have received a $3,000 grant from the National Environmental Education Foundation, with major funding support from Toyota Motor North America. These funds will support the reforestation effort for the Hornaday Project that is an ongoing effort by Matthew Keagle, an Eagle Scout from Troop 370.

Mountain Way Common is a 13-acre park located in North Buckhead that was created by the neighborhood to reclaim the land under a GA 400 overpass. MWC is a unique combination of forest, floodplain, wetlands, creek, stream buffer, and wildlife habitat that exists in one of the city’s steepest natural valleys, carved over eons by Little Nancy Creek.

Volunteers will be planting 100 3-gallon native trees and shrubs – Rain or Shine – in coordination with Trees Atlanta. Please bring a water bottle, gloves and wear shoes you don’t mind getting muddy.

Volunteers can sign up at Hands on Atlanta.
