Tree ID Through the Seasons with Chattahoochee National Park Conservancy and Trees Atlanta

Description

Join official park Friends group Chattahoochee National Park Conservancy for an enriching and educational experience as they partner with Trees Atlanta for a quarterly hiking series! This seasonal hike is a unique opportunity to explore the beautiful Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area – Paces Mill Unit and learn the art of tree identification, with a special focus on summer foliage and how it contrasts with other seasons.

Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply curious about the trees that shape our environment, this collaborative event promises to deepen your connection with the natural world. Together, we’ll discover the defining characteristics of trees in their springtime splendor and uncover the subtle changes they undergo throughout the year.

Please come prepared with weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy hiking footwear to ensure a safe and comfortable experience on the trails. To reduce our environmental impact, we encourage participants to carpool with friends or family.

Spaces are limited, so don’t miss the chance to be part of this exciting inaugural event! Get ready to embrace summer and see nature through a fresh perspective.
