From the Decatur Minute…

Trees Atlanta will use a herd of about 75 sheep to help control Japanese hops, kudzu and other invasive plants on the steep slope between Section 14 and the creek at the Decatur Cemetery.

“Sheep offer a low-impact solution for controlling invasive plants on sites,” said Trees Atlanta Forest Restoration Coordinator, Brian Williams. “As long as the sites do not contain sensitive or endangered plants that we want to keep safe, sheep can graze and help us eliminate invasive plants until they are gone,” he continued. Trees Atlanta is completing a 5-year woodland restoration effort in the stream corridor on the east side of the Cemetery.

good morning. a neighbor found a beautiful yellow lab in oakhurst park yesterday about 2pm.  no collar and no microchip.  he is staying with us but hoping you could post to help the owners be found.  he is well very cared for so someone must be missing him.

We’ve been having some trouble embedding certain video recently, but Deanne points out this WSB report covering the stepped up security at the DHS football game Friday night.

And though it isn’t mentioned in the report, Decatur beat Clarkston 42-10, improving to 4-0 on the season.
