Featured Events
Tu B’Shvat Tree Planting
02.05.23
Join us as we plant 73 trees in Wade Walker Park, help sustain our urban forest and celebrate Tu B’Shvat, the Jewish “New Year of Trees”. Trees Atlanta has supported annual plantings for Tu B’Shvat for more than two decades. Tu B’Shvat (literally, the 15th day of the lunar month of Shvat) encourages us to connect culture and faith to the land, and to build an awareness of our roles in preventing land degradation.

Tu B’Shvat Seder
02.06.23
Join us for our sustainability focused Tu B’Shvat Seder and celebrate the Jewish New Year of the Trees.
We will partake in the different fruits and grains native to the Land of Israel, known as the “Seven Species,” and enjoy a mixing of wines, a symbol for blending our own needs with those of our community for communal sustainability.
This celebration of our relationship to nature is also a call to action. Do you know about the trees that live amongst us? Do you know what they provide to our lives and the ecosystems in which we live? This year we will learn more about TREES and connect them to environmental justice related impacts.
Our time together will be a time of prayer, education and connection to shmirat ha’adamah, protecting our planet. Families are most welcome!
