Park Restoration at Herbert Taylor Park

Save the trees/environment in an urban forest! Join Friends of HTDJ in removing invasive species so that the native plants and wildlife can flourish.

Thanks for your interest in volunteering to help with restoration in Herbert Taylor Park, this Saturday, November 14th. We will meet at 9:00 AM at 1343 Pasadena Av, NE, Atlanta, 30306 (by the Herbert Taylor Park sign) to do introductions and get instructions before heading into the forest to restore the natural environment and have fun!

Friends of HTDJ and Intown Georgia Native Plant Society lead forest work in the heart of Morningside. We provide easy to use tools to yank out ivy, privet, mahonia, nandina, etc. You will leave with knowledge, a sense of accomplishment and new friends!

We work rain or shine, so be prepared. Wear long sleeves, pants, and closed toed shoes to protect yourself--and bring your own drinking water, sunscreen, and bug spray. We will be removing introduced species that are threatening the tree canopy so your help is instrumental in improving this forest.

If you have gardening gloves and favorite tools like clippers, trowels, and loppers, please bring them--or you can borrow gloves and tools that we have. And you will get a chance to use the weed wrenches--you will find that using them to pull out exotic bushes is quite satisfying (and a bit addictive).

There is ample street parking on both Pasadena Av. and Beech Valley Rd. The park does not have facilities, but there is a Kroger nearby in Sage Hill Shopping Center (and several gas stations nearby as well).
