SUMMARY:Mary Scott Nature Park Workday
DESCRIPTION:Come out on 1st Saturdays for Mary Scott Nature Park workdays! NEW workday hours: Noon to 2 pm from October to May\, and 10 am to Noon from June-Sept. Come to front entrance 4150 Briarcliff Rd.\n\n\n\nThis beautiful park is at a maintenance stage and is an excellent example of how an urban forest should look. Come out and learn about restoration\, do some good work and have fun!\n\nThese 10.6 acres of central DeKalb County greenspace\, acquired in 2003\, are a pocket of natural beauty in the midst of lawn-heavy 1960’s suburbia. The old homestead’s woods are battling exotic invasives and\, to a lesser extent\, historic landscape plants. Public education on the restoration process\, including that of a streambank\, is a goal for Mary Scott Nature Park. \nTo be added to our monthly reminder mailing list\, please email friendsofmsnp@gmail.com.
