A community-led team project is tackling climate through English Avenue’s struggling tree cover, kicking off a research and planting project thanks to an influx of funding from Drawdown Georgia.
The Atlanta-based community effort called the Green Team of English Avenue will receive $200,000 across two years starting in 2025. Drawdown Georgia, a decentralized “leaderful” climate solutions framework, awarded five climate justice initiatives across the state a total of $1 million.
Each group receives the same amount of funds to be distributed across the next two years. For the Green Team of English Avenue, the dollars will create a two-phase plan for the neighborhood called the The Westside Passive Cooling Tree Equity Partnership and Project.
