ongoing tree planting and maintenance, assessment,
and mulching programs, and to also help with other
current projects such as removing non-native invasive
plant species from Bacon Park Forest.
All
events are guaranteed to be fun, interesting and a
great way to get outdoors while supporting the environment.

Join
STF as we walk some of the newly designated natural
walking trails in Bacon Park Forest. This
past summer, Trail Dynamics, LLC of North Carolina
contracted with the City of Savannah to create a
plan for installing walking trails in the forest.
The Savannah Tree Foundation was a part of the action...
come check it out!
Wear
long sleeves, pants, and sturdy shoes; bug spray
is a good idea. Walks meet in northern corner
of Bacon Park Tennis Courts, located off Skidaway
Road just south of Bonna Bella Road.
