Gwinnett County Soil and Water Conservation District

One of our partner cities Norcross, Georgia organized a tree planting day in a local urban forest! Girl Scouts, an urban forester, and members of the Norcross Garden Club volunteered their Sunday afternoon planting tree seedlings in the local urban forest. A fun way to learn, steward and have fun! #volunteersrock #plantatree #girlscoutsrock Georgia Association of Conservation Districts
