Paths, Trees, Jogging and Bike Trails are Vital to the Community

Here's something one of my neighbors wrote today in a discussion we had surrounding increased sightings of wildlife in the area. "my father used to see a bear cub in our yard. That was before they built the police Station and removed all the woods next to it. My point is that we have these other residents in our neighborhood and they will be displaced just like us, when they keep full clearing lots to build more ugly boxes to pack more people into them. They are here now because their territory has been removed and we still have a few stands of trees"

When I first move to Atlanta 19 years ago, much of Southwest Atlanta and South Fulton was still forested. The deforestation of the area is not only dangerous for wildlife, it's detrimental to humans. Let's stop this practice of killing the land and build communities that are in harmony with the natural topography.
