Trees Atlanta hosts "Meet the Sheep"

Bethany Clark, Neighbor

Trees Atlanta will be hosting a FREE “Meet the Sheep” event at Morningside Nature Preserve on Saturday, October 12th, and the Atlanta public is invited.

At this event, families, friends, and neighbors can come take pictures and feed the sheep plants, while learning more about why invasive plant removal is vital to a healthy urban forest.

Meet us at Morningside Nature Preserve, along the transmission line right-of-way near Wildwood Rd,
Atlanta, GA 30324. Please see this map link for exact meeting location:  http://goo.gl/maps/UEsW9

Trees Atlanta has brought the sheep to Chastain Park, Kirkwood Forest, Decatur Cemetery, Candler Park, Herbert Green Nature Preserve, among other greenspaces.

Trees Atlanta estimates that a herd of 100 sheep eats one acre of invasive

plants in one week.

Trees Atlanta’s forest restoration program treats 500 acres of invasive species annually and is continually looking for low-impact methods to improve 
the health of the urban forest. In this way, Trees Atlanta can plant more
native trees, which have many, many benefits for our city. Learn more here: http://treesatlanta.org/our-programs/forest-restoration.
