Trail Maintenance & Planting

The City of Atlanta Parks & Recreation Department hosted their ‘Love Your Park Month’ in February 2025. We participated by making major improvements to the quarter-mile trail that runs through the southeast corner of Candler Park.

More than 60 volunteers from all around the city came out to help us remulch the trail, remove invasive species from around the trail, and plant more than two dozen native trees and shrubs.

Over the course of 4 hours these volunteers helped spread 3 truckloads of mulch across trail, line it with fallen branches, removed the rotted out railroad ties, and remove invasive species like privet that were spreading around the trail. Where there was once a small muddy path that was overgrown and hard to find, there is now a clearly marked and mulched trail.
