Sustainability Committee

This month’s meeting will include:

Beth Wheeler, Chief of Planning, Resources, and Education for Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, will be joining us to speak about all the great things they’re doing to preserve and enhance this beautiful space along the Chattahoochee River. For those who might not know, a portion of this park – which covers 48 miles along the Hooch – is right here in Buckhead! Let’s celebrate that we have access to a preserved area as large as this right in our own backyard and hear from Beth about the work they’re doing and how it plays out in our local community.

If you’d like, before we meet, you can check out this short video from their friend’s group, Chattahoochee National Park Conservancy, that tells the story of how CRNRA began: River Rats & Junior Leaguers (7 min.) (vimeo.com)

We’ll be meeting over zoom, information below:
