EDUCATION: THIS YEAR WE CONTINUED TO BUILD ON THE SUCCESS OF OUR EDUCATION PROGRAM STARTED IN 2011. DURING THE YEAR WE OFFERRED PROGRAMMING FOR PRE-SCHOOL AND SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN, SCOUTS AS WELL AS ADULTS. FOR THE ADULTS THERE WERE PROGRAMS ON A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS INCLUDING: ORGANIC GARDENING, NARRATIVE WRITING, WILD MUSHROOMING, PLANTING IN COLOR, MORNING DISCOVERY HIKE, A WALK THROUGH TIME IN NORTH BUCKHEAD AND NATIVE AMERICANS. IN ADDITION WE INTRODUCED A MONTHLY PROGRAM CALLED SECOND SATURDAY SAFARI OFFERING A FULL ENVIRONMENTALLY-FOCUSED SET OF PROGRAMS FROM OWL PROWLS TO WINTER BIRD WALKS. FOR THE CHILDREN WE HAD BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR CLASSES INCLUDING FEATHERY FRIENDS, MOTHERS DAY CRAFTING, ART IN NATURE, COLLAGE, AND HOOTIE SPOOKY CRAFT CLASS. IN THE SUMMER WE OFFERRED AS ECOEXPLORERS DAY CAMP FOR CHILDREN UTILIZING THE PRESERVE TO PROVIDING OUTDOOR, HANDS ON, EXPERIENCIAL LEARNING OF THE ENVIRONMENT. WE CONTINUE TO LEVERAGE OUR PARTNERS AT ATLANTA AUDUBON SOCIETY, BUCKHEAD HERITAGE SOCIETY AND THE CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NATIONAL RECREATION AREA TO PROVIDE THESE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. OVER 500 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING IN 2012.08927
NATIVE PLANT RESTORATION - FIVE STAR AND PARK PRIDE GRANTS:OUR EFFORTS TO RESTORE LANDSCAPE AT BLUE HERON CONTINUED IN 2012. WE COMPLETED OUR EPA 5-STAR GRANT TO REMOVE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE INVASIVE SPECIES IN OUR 10 ACRE EMMA WETLAND TRACT AS WELL AS ALONG THE NANCY CREEK AND THE BLUE HERON POND. THE GRANT ALSO HELPED FUND ESTABLISHING A NATIVE GRASS AND WILDFLOWER MEADOW ALONG THE ROSWELL ROAD CORRIDOR. WITH ANOTHER GRANT FROM PARK PRIDE WE WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE THIS WORK FOCUSING ON A FINAL PHASE OF INVASIVES REMOVAL PLUS EXTENDING OUR NATIVE GRASS PLANTINGS ALONG THE ENTIRE ROSWELL ROAD AND LAKEMOORE DRIVE PORTIONS OF THE PRESERVE. IN ADDITION, WE ARE PLANTING NATIVE GRASSES ALONG A PORTION OF THE RIPARIAN AREA ALONG NANCY CREEK. WITH THE COMPLETION OF THIS GRANT WORK WE WILL HAVE REMOVED ALL INVASIVES WITHIN THE 25 ACRE PRESERVE EXCEPT FOR THE MOST SENSITIVE AREAS ALONG THE BANKS OF NANCY CREEK. A ONGOING MAINTENANCE PROGRAM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED TO PERIODICALLY ADDRESS AN INVASIVE REGROWTH USING MANUAL METHODS.010456
MILL TRAIL: ONE OF OUR GOALS FOR 2012 WAS TO ESTABLISH A TRAIL CONNECTING THE 2 NON-CONTIGUOUS SECTIONS OF BLUE HERON. DURING THE YEAR WE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS TOWARDS THAT END. WE WORKED WITH THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS TO GET RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENTS IN PLACE FOR THE TRAIL AS WELL AS WORK WITH THE CITY OF ATLANTA FOR THE PROPER PERMITTING. WE ALSO DEVELOPED A TRAIL CONCEPTUAL PLAN WHICH IDENTIFIED THE FEATURES TO BE ESTABLISHED ALONG THE TRAIL. WITH HELP FROM OUR PARTNERS AT BUCKHEAD HERITAGE SOCIETY WE HELPED TO DOCUMENT THE EXISTENCE OF A MILL LOCATED NEAR THE TRAIL HEAD. OUR FOCUS THEN BECAME TO BRING TO LIGHT THE HISTORY OF THE MILL. WITH FUNDING FROM BUCKHEAD ROTARY WE CREATED THE TRAIL HEAD INCLUDING SIGNAGE AND BUILT STONE STEPS TAKING YOU TO A ROCK OUTCROPPING ALONG THE TRAIL. SO FAR OVER 100 VOLUNTEERS FROM BUCKHEAD ROTARY AND HANDS ON ATLANTA WORKED ON THE PROJECT. WE PLAN TO COMPLETE THE TRAIL IN 2013.03326
