Trail Completion Plans

The county, working with a different contractor than the one currently under legal challenge, hopes to complete the middle section of the trail that was left unfinished within the next few months.

Help replant the South Peachtree Creek Trail

CHCA, MANA, and the SPCT Oversight Committee invite you to join them in replanting areas that were cleared for the new multiuse trail connecting Medlock and Mason Mill Parks. Under the direction of local resident and county greenspace manager Dave Butler, we will ultimately be planting a mix of young native hardwood and evergreen trees, shrubs, and flowering plants. It will take more than one session.

We will start at the concrete section at the Mason Mill end on Tuesday, October 28, at 4:00 p.m. and work until dark. Please meet at the Mason Mill Park Tennis Center parking lot.

From the county, Dave will obtain the plants and borrow a four wheeled vehicle for transport of the plants, tools, and mulch. Volunteers are encouraged to bring shovels, trowels, gloves, and their own drinking water. Dave will instruct us in the proper methods for planting. Please come plant a tree, adopt a tree, or just cheer us on. Hopefully we can finish replanting by the end of the year.
