• Fall Plant Walk

  • When
    25 Sep 2021
  •  
    9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
  • Location
    Altama Plantation WMA

  Join us for a plant walk co-sponsored by GA DNR led by plant biologist Eamonn Leonard and private lands biologist Erin Cork. Acquired in 2015 by the Georgia Dept. of Natural Resources this conservation property has been undergoing ecological restoration through the application of prescribed fire and the management of the existing timber. There are many beautiful fall blooming plants that call this property home. We will explore them in a natural setting as well as check out the native plant pollinator garden that GA DNR installed in 2016 in a 1930’s era formal garden. This walk is on a state owned Wildlife Management Area. To access these properties it is required to have either a fishing/hunting license or lands pass. This helps the state fund management of these properties.  https://www.gooutdoorsgeorgia.com/
