Must be a member of GMGA to participate in the tours offered through the website. Historic Oakland Cemetery is Atlanta’s oldest public park and the final resting place of many of the city’s most noted citizens. Oakland’s tree canopy includes over 1600 trees and hundreds of species some of which are over 200 years old. This includes majestic oaks to mighty magnolias, to demure crape myrtles and dogwoods. Oakland’s trees feed and shelter wildlife, help reduce air pollution and provide welcome shade for visitors. Many stand as living memorials to generations past. Stroll with us through Oakland’s amazing arboretum and learn from knowledgeable guides about some of our favorite trees that truly shine! Special considerations for those with mobility issues – due to the severity of Oaklands uneven and cracked paths, this tour is not recommended for anyone with mobility issues and unfortunately this trip is not ADA certified at this time. Please do not sign up if you have any challenges walking on very uneven terrain.

Specific details of where to meet will be sent to registered participants the week before the event, but please plan to arrive by 9:30AM.   This event will occur, rain or shine. No refunds will be given.
