Tapestry Greenspace, on Intrenchment Creek, receives the 2026 Rivers Alive Adopt-a-Stream Award!

Tapestry is located in SE Atlanta off United & Walker Avenues. 🏆 Congratulations to the Tapestry Community (a neighborhood assoc. that owns the land), Julie Lowring, Lou Clymore, and many others who have worked for decades to restore and protect a previously dire stretch of riparian buffer on Intrenchment Creek. Since 2008, community efforts have included extensive trash & tire removal, invasive removal, planting of hundreds of native trees and plants, and water quality monitoring of the creek (since 2010). The community has received grants and assistance from the Five Star & Urban Waters Restoration Program (NFWF & EPA), Trees Atlanta, the Atlanta Audubon Society and more. 🐢 • Learn more about how you can ADOPT-A-STREAM at adoptastream.georgia.gov • READ THE PORCH PRESS ARTICLE by Melanie Regnier at theporchpress.com (https://theporchpress.com/tapestry-greenspace-receives-adopt-a-stream-award/). @porchpressatl • Learn about Tapestry volunteer opps and how to donate at tapestrygreenspace.org image credits: 1.
