Focused on expanding our Invasive Plant Removal and Eradication Program to address 30 acres of park land that was overgrown with kudzu, english ivy, bamboo, and privet. The Conservancy received a phase two $20,000 grant from the Georgia Power Foundation to support these efforts.

Master Plan Project Implementation

One of the 20-year master plan projects is the establishment of mini parks along the Chastain Park PATH. The Conservancy reclaimed park land to establish the American Legion field - a .65-acre passive greenspace along the southern portion of the PATH.

03

Enhance

This year our park visits increased three-fold; we received more guests, and they were staying in the park longer. As such, we worked to double trash receptacle capacity and increase waste pick up from three times a week to daily - to ensure each park patron's visit remained a clean, green, and safe experience.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
