Sandy Springs, GA — The City of Sandy Springs has announced the launch of its 2026 Eco-Stewardship Program, an immersive, hands-on environmental education initiative designed to empower residents to restore and protect local ecosystems.
Now in its third session, the program will run from April 25 through December 18, 2026, with sessions held one Saturday each month.
Participants will gain practical skills in urban forest management, including identifying native plants, removing invasive species, and contributing to forest restoration efforts.
The program is led by master naturalist Kathryn Kolb of EcoAddendum, through a partnership that brings expert-led stewardship training directly into Sandy Springs’ urban forests and green spaces.
“[This program] is designed to engage community members in restoring and protecting local ecosystems,” city officials stated in the announcement on March 23, 2026.
The Eco-Stewardship Program aims to turn participants into active environmental leaders who can help maintain the health of the city’s natural areas for years to come. Registration details and additional information are available on the City of Sandy Springs website.
This initiative reflects Sandy Springs’ ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and community involvement in preserving its green spaces.
