Restoration
| GNPS Habitat Restoration Guidelines (PDF) | This manual is intended to be a guide for individuals and groups who have seen the beauty and diversity of native plants and their habitats and who want to recreate a native habitat or to restore one to its natural condition. |
| GNPS Restoration Project Application (PDF) | This application is to be used by organizations wishing to partner with GNPS Restoration Committee for the purposes of habitat restoration on public land, parks or schools; establishment of native plant gardens or displays for educational purposes; relocation of plants to botanical gardens, arboreta or research facilities for scientific purposes. |
| Buffalo Creek Outdoor Education Center Project | The Buffalo Creek Outdoor Education Center located next to the Carrollton Ag Center in Carrollton, GA. It is comprised of approximately 40 acres. The nature trail has been adopted by the West Georgia Chapter and work on restoration began in early 2010. This link takes you to the West Georgia Chapter website, Buffalo Creek Project page. |
| Grant Park Project | The Grant Park Conservancy (GPC) began as a group of concerned Atlanta residents who recognized the need to protect Grant Park, Atlanta's oldest city park, from the demands of growing use and declining maintenance. |
| Heritage Park Trail Project | In the spring of 2001, GNPS entered into an agreement with "Keep Cobb Beautiful" to maintain 25 feet on each side of the Heritage Park Trail for the first two-tenths of a mile. |
| Lullwater Conservation Garden and Bird Sanctuary Project | Lullwater Conservation Garden and Bird Sanctuary. This 6 and 1/2 acre park is found in the heart of Atlanta's historic Druid Hills neighborhood just north of Ponce de Leon on Lullwater Rd. The garden is part of the original plan established by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead. |
| Mary Scott Nature Preserve Project | These 10.6 acres of central DeKalb county greenspace, acquired in 2003, are a pocket of natural beauty in the midst of lawn-heavy 1960's suburbia. The old homestead's woods are battling exotic invasives and, to a lesser extent, historic landscape plants. Public education on the restoration process, including that of a streambank, is a goal for Mary Scott Nature Preserve. |
