Some tidbits on the Austin Elementary / Dunwoody Park Swap

Dunwoody and DeKalb County Board of Education Authorize Purchase, Sale, and Real Estate Exchange Agreement

PS:  In the 2017 City of Dunwoody budget, there are 3.5 Million dollars (over and above the amount for the land swap deal) slated for Park Improvements and as those funds were the proceeds of a lawsuit over a DeKalb County parks bond that promised funds for Brook Run Park, the City Council should be directing those funds back to Brook Run. Based on what I know, the back 30 acres of Brook Run could receive a large chunk of those funds to construct flat, rectangular fields where soccer & lacrosse will be played. Just maybe if that idea pans out in the public process, there will be a lot of recreational fields built in the coming year.

Atlanta Food Swap comes to the Dunwoody Nature Center on Sunday at 3 pm

Full Details Here

Dunwoody Nature Center
5343 Roberts Dr.
Dunwoody, GA 30338
View Map
We're so excited to bring this month's Food & Craft swap to the Dunwoody Nature Center. Come enjoy a beautiful fall day complete with outdoor fireplace, cash bar (beer & wine), and a great Art in the Park exhibit: "Hoos in the Forest" - whimsical sculptures constructed out of natural found objects by artist Salley McInerney. Come explore this fantastic nature escape - complete with trails, creeks, playgrounds, and an Eno hammock garden! So reserve your spot, bring your goodies and get ready for some barter magic!

************************
Welcome to The Homestead Atlanta's FREE bi-monthly meet up where we can trade homemade, homegrown, or foraged food - and more - with each other. The swap will take place around 4:00, but please show up as close to 3:00 as possible to get set up; sometimes stragglers don't get a chance to swap, and it's a great chance to try some tasty treats and get to know some new folks!

This is a chance for our community to get together and swap homemade goodies. Make things that you enjoy and let's trade them. Think canned tomato sauce, produce or herbs from your garden, fresh read, backyard eggs, soup, granola, popsicles, or pickles. If you're more the artistic type, nobody's going to turn down some craftiness in exchange for food, either. Be creative and have fun!
