Two hundred and forty landscape timbers were laid down to define the path. They were each secured with four hundred and eighty pieces of rebar and the path was covered with forty cubic yards of mulch. In addition, ten cubic yards of compost for the native plant garden was used at the head of the path. This is like found in- town real-estate. One of the more practical reasons for the path is to cut down on activity that went unnoticed for many years. If we have more visibility and traffic, ne’er-do-wells will need to find another place to congregate. Please be advised that nature paths tend to be secluded. The path was made possible by proceeds generated from the 420 Festival arm band sales. There was money left over for EcoAddendum to plant a native plant bed at the head of the trail. There is still work to be done. We would like to see all invasive plants removed and replaced by native plants to Georgia. This is going to take more work days and plant sales to make this happen. All told, the project thus far has taken 4 workdays totaling 116 volunteers who have given 436 hours of service. Thanks to Kosher crew from Padea, Clifton Men, Westminster High school.GSU Beta Alpha Psi, Candler Park Neighborhood Organization, Epworth Methodist, EcoAddendum, Park Pride, Friends of Candler Park and most of all Sweetwater for supplying funds and volunteer hours.
