WABE-Trees Atlanta Partnership Spring 2010

Thank you to everyone who made our Earth Day fundraiser a record breaking success. 2753 trees will be planted in the Beltline Arborietum because of you!

For everyone who made a pledge on Earthday April 22nd, 2010 will have a tree planted in their honor by Trees Atlanta.

  • Trees Atlanta is a group that has been planting and conserving trees in Atlanta for the past 25 years.

  • Since 1985, Trees Atlanta has planted and distributed more than 75,000 trees.

  • Since 1975, metro Atlanta has lost 65% of its tree cover. Trees Atlanta is planting trees where they are needed most.

  • Each tree is a year old seedling.

  • These will be native trees, hand selected by Trees Atlanta for their ability to thrive in our area.

  • They’ll be planted along the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum, which, when finished will be the longest linear arboretum in the country.

  • The trees will be planted by Trees Atlanta volunteers this coming March, which is tree planting season here in Georgia.
