Field Trip: Community Resilience in Action: Trees, Water and Green Infrastructure in English Avenue

🌍 Join us for an enlightening tour with Trees Atlanta, Travys Harper, and Annie Moore as we explore vital green infrastructure projects in Atlanta's English Avenue!

Atlanta's urban forest is not just a beautiful backdrop; it plays a crucial role in our community's infrastructure. Discover how our trees and green spaces:

• Absorb and manage stormwater 🌧️
• Reduce flooding 🚫
• Improve air quality 🌬️
• Cool our homes ☀️
• Foster healthier, more resilient neighborhoods 🏙️

Flooding has long posed a serious threat to the homes and lives of residents in West Atlanta neighborhoods like English Avenue. With heavy rainfall and aging sewer systems, floods have repeatedly wreaked havoc in our communities.

Today, English Avenue stands at the forefront of innovative solutions. As climate change intensifies storms, we'll learn how green infrastructure—especially trees, parks, and creatively designed “sponge” landscapes—helps manage stormwater and protects our communities. 🌳💧

English Avenue’s green infrastructure projects are a shining example of resilience and innovation, paving the way for a sustainable future for all Atlantans.
