Itinerary:

Our original event: Donate a Day at the Blue Heron Nature Preserve has been cancelled due to the delicate conditions of the area. The snow and ice have made the soil quite fragile and our presence may cause more damage than good at this time, especially with the possibility of rain tomorrow. The original event will be rescheduled for some time in March. I will leave everyone's names on the list. You may change your registration as needed.

So, we're moving on to plan B - hike at Chastain Park 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM with lunch at Fellini's afterwards. There are approximately 5 miles of trails that border this area.

We will meet at the small covered bus stop-like area at the north end of the Red Parking lot. This is next to the Amphitheater so it should be easy for everyone to locate.

We'll start our hike on the east side of the park following the entire length of the park and cross Nancy Creek. There will be points of interest along the way and hopefully nice weather as well! Chastain Park is Fulton County's largest public park. You may have attended a concert at this location before, but there are other events held here as well.

Required Items to Bring:

comfortable clothes and shoes, raingear just in case (30% chance of rain), money for lunch afterwards if attending

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
dress in layers for the weather, snacks to keep your energy levels up
