Enjoy scenes from last week’s TREE TOUR: The Living Legacy of Freedom Park - Trees, Trails and Civic Roots 🌳 We joined @treesatlanta for a stroll through Freedom Park, one of Atlanta’s largest parks, and the official art park of the City of Atlanta.

The Carter Presidential Center sits at the center of the park, and we explored how the park connects to many local amenities, including the Atlanta Beltline and Arboretum. We discussed the history of the park (and its treasured legacy of hard-won civic activism); checked out art installations along the trail - including @najee.dorsey and @jaumeplensaofficial; and identified some of the many native trees that make up our urban forest. Our guide was Alison Mawle - a docent with Trees Atlanta. Alison regularly leads tours on the Southwest Atlanta Beltline Arboretum Trail and started this Tree Tour in partnership with the Freedom Park Conservancy for their 27th anniversary. #freedomisyourpark #atlanta
