Volunteers, such as the Georgia Wildlife Federation, adopt a section of stream, river or lake for one year.

- Removal of Japanese honeysuckle in several woodland areas
- General weeding around main building and WingSong gardens near Log Cabin

Park Pride – Atlanta, GA
- Group / Corporate Volunteering
Have a group that’s not afraid to get a little dirty? Park Pride has coordinated hundreds of group volunteer projects—corporate groups, college groups, church and other nonprofit groups. Communities in Atlanta are greatly improved every year by volunteers who spend a few hours sprucing up a park. Please contact Ayanna Williams for more information 404-817-7963.
- Individual / LEAD Volunteering
By training volunteers to learn how to go lead other groups, the impact we can collectively have on park improvements is exponential. So, we offer the Lead Volunteer Program as a way of increasing our ability to maintain a healthy and sustainable urban forest within Atlanta’s parks. Lead Volunteers experience many benefits of the two-hour training and have the know-how to improve Atlanta’s parks. This makes for more “park improvement troops” on the ground—which means better parks all around!
