Call: (404) 458-4515 or visit treesatlanta.org

Trees Atlanta is headquartered in southwest Atlanta, Georgia in the Oakland City neighborhood near Adair Park. In early 2023, we finished construction and moved into this new facility that houses our administrative, program, and implementation center. Over half of the land on our property has been reforested with over 200 new trees and thousands of native plants.

On the east side of the property and facing Allene Avenue and the Atlanta BeltLine Westside Trail is a stunning meadow of native grasses surrounded by trees and native perennials. Beside the meadow is a special landscape installation, designed by reknown landscape architect Darrel Morrison, that replicates a granite outcrop appropriate to the Georgia Piedmont. A walking trail meanders through the greenspaces of the property.

In the Kendeda TreeHouse, our staff, education, and volunteer spaces are located in the main building. A second building and working lot is used as an implementation center for program equipment and operations. The greenspaces surrounding the building is accessible for the enjoyment of our neighbors and visitors.
