Join us on December 16th at 1 PM for Amanda Banks' Join us on December 16th at 1 PM for Amanda Banks' Artist Talk and Garden Party exhibition! Garden Party is an in-between-place, a place of reclamation and new growth evidenced by natural forms in various stages of birth and decay. Reminding us that life will always find a way and that while we are still here, there is time to enjoy it. @amandaworld.love is a self-taught mixed-media fiber artist based in North Georgia. Her work is made in response to and dependent on the environments she inhabits, as the majority of her materials are second-hand, scavenged, or donated. She has taught public workshops and in collaboration with educational institutions. Amanda has exhibited at Swan Coach House Gallery, The Atlanta Contemporary, and the Rome Area History Museum in Rome, GA. She is fresh off a residency at Stoveworks Gallery in Chattanooga, TN and is an upcoming Arrowmont Pentaculum resident. You can find her online at www.amandaworld.love.

Protecting and preserving our ecosystems for futur Protecting and preserving our ecosystems for future generations means that the landscapes and animals we love don't become a distant memory. Maintaining a healthy and functional ecosystem is possible, but it takes work and community efforts. 🍃 So, we wouldn't be where we are today if it weren't for our volunteers! Volunteers have helped us in our conservation efforts by removing invasive plants from our greenspace, maintaining our meadows, and expanding our native plant garden. If you're ever interested in volunteering at the Preserve, make sure to check out our website (bhnp.org) for more info! A special thanks to @northsidehosp for sponsoring all of our volunteer events. They help us get people outside! . . . . . . . #spreadyourwings #volunteeratl #naturepreserve #bhnp #conservation #ecosystems

The Woodland trail here at the Preserve is perfect The Woodland trail here at the Preserve is perfect for connecting with nature and just taking a walk! Walking in nature has many health benefits ranging from improving mood, reducing stress and anxiety, lowering blood pressure, and improving cardiovascular fitness.
