City of Dunwoody to start replanting trees along Brook Run Baseball Field buffer.

Full Drawing of the document

The City of Dunwoody has released the drawings of phase 1 of the city's planting plan that volunteers from Trees Atlanta will be installing this coming Monday for MLK Great Day of Service. The trees chosen provide for a nice mix of hardwoods and evergreens to provide a substantial vegetative buffer to the fields.  Each of these trees is spaced approximately 2.5 times closer than would normally be spec'd. This was a request of the City, in order to give the project an almost immediate screen.

Based on concerns of the neighbors I requested that Mr. Brent Walker, City of Dunwoody Parks Director meet with the neighbors prior to the trees installation and he has agreed to be at the corner of Barclay and North Peachtree this Saturday at 10 am to discuss this plan to whomever would like to attend.  Below are links to the descriptions of the trees to be installed.
