Eli above was working with a friend to put the Trees Atlanta largest trees on a google earth map. They have added a ton of the trees they have found as well. Great work.
Agnes scott has a walking tour and had a book to go with it. Jim Abbot a professor at Agnes Scott is leading a student and teacher effort to revise their arboretum with some unique additions.
Trees Atlanta has a tree walk in the Oakhurst Arboretum. We have not re-printed the map but have it on our website. Over 100 trees have granite markers as well.

It’s a whopping 56′ tall! They’ve also got the city champion Bigleaf Magnolia and Devil’s Walkingstick- both quite impressive.

I’d be happy to help co-lead big tree walks if anyone is interested. eli.dickerson@fernbankmuseum.org

…I’m actually the guy in the picture above :)

A few years ago, Trees Atlanta installed some granite markers identifying particular trees in the neighborhood. It actually may be all over Decatur, I’m not sure. If Greg Levine or Cheryl K. is listening, maybe they can offer more info.

Perhaps someone from the city would comment. Having a published or online guide of this sort would be a definite plus for all.
