Making nature more accessible, one trail at a time 🌳 💚 💙

In this week’s video, I visit RAR Bike Shop started by my very dear friend @dev_rox ! I have been really looking forward to sharing this video with you guys. Devin has been working on opening for a while, and she was kind enough to show me around. It’s live now on YouTube!

We had an incredible Birding 101 event at Constitution Lakes last weekend! Devin Cowens, Sierra Club Georgia Outings Coordinator, and Charles Jackson, master birder, community organizer and urban agriculture steward, led a small group through the park to learn a little history, enjoy nature, identify birds, and even spot some plants! Our next event will be a Westside Atlanta history bike ride on Tuesday, April 28. Sign up at the link in bio and stay tuned for more event this summer!
