The middle of summer is the perfect time for a walk in the deep shaded forest of Big Trees! Learn about the old growth forest in the middle of Sandy Springs and how it was saved from development, from our guide Randy Pollard of the Big Trees board of directors.

The Path Less Traveled


Last Saturday our Trail Blazer group took the path less traveled, visiting the Johnson Ferry North trail at the Chattahoochee River.


The close to 2-mile loop trail that winds through the woods, crosses a creek, and passes by the river is part of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area on the Cobb County side of the Johnson Ferry Rd bridge.


Despite rain every weekend this spring, the skies were dry for our walk, guided by Jack Misiura, Chair of the Sandy Springs Conservancy and his dog who knows the trail so well she led the way! Photo Gallery on Facebook

Meet Us at the Farmers Market!


Come meet us at the Sandy Springs Farmers Market on Saturday, June 14, from 8:30 am - 12 pm at City Green.


Find out more about the Conservancy, get updates on the Springway and other park projects in Sandy Springs. We'll have activities and games for the kids and information on parks in our community!

Morgan Stanley Volunteer Day


Thank you Morgan Stanley volunteers for coming out recently for a volunteer work day at Hammond Park! William Park, the city's urban forest coordinator, taught our group about best pruning practices and then we put it to work! Morgan Stanley is a long-time corporate sponsor of the Sandy Springs Conservancy. Our small nonprofit that support parks, trails and greenspace in Sandy Springs depends on the support of businesses and individuals to carry out our mission. Please consider becoming a sponsor or supporter.
