Happy New Year! 

After the holidays, remove all decorations from your Christmas tree and bring it to Grant Park so it can be recycled.  This is a one day only opportunity to recycle your tree.  The Conservancy is partnering, once again, with the statewide - Bring One for the Chipper - program.  9am till 4pm only. 

You can receive a dogwood or green ash sapling when recylcing your tree.  We only have 150 saplings (75 dogwood/75 green ash) to give away, so plan to come early.

Enter the park at Berne Street and Park Avenue - follow the signs.

Allstate Insurance sponsors "Give Back Day" as part of its celebration of the Martin Luther King Holiday.  Volunteers will join the Conservancy on Monday, January 19 to work in the park - mulching, planting, weeding, and more.  Anyone is welcome.  Meet on the traffic circle adjacent to the Cyclorama.

The Conservancy hosts its annual meeting to review 2008 and look forward to 2009. The meeting is located at Adams Realtors, 458 Cherokee Avenue, SE Atlanta, GA 30312 2nd Floor Conference Room.
