Since 2020 Trees Atlanta has been working with communities to design install and maintain 22 stormwater tree planters (rain gardens) at 11 distinct residential locations in Fulton County targeting Proctor Creek and Utoy Creek watersheds.
These green infrastructure installations are not only capturing and managing stormwater runoff from the adjacent roadway, thereby influencing the quantity and quality of runoff that reaches waterways; they are also enhancing Atlanta’s urban canopy, reducing flooding, enhancing property values and making a significant difference in the lives of residents in underserved communities.
