CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Big Haynes Creek celebrates Arbor Day with a free month long event, Help us celebrate Arbor Day as we kick off this month-long event. Each week, our staff will hide “blossoms” on the trails, in bushes, on trees, and other hidden corners. If you find one, you are invited to trade it in at the Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival (March 23-24) for a handmade artisan keepsake. This fun exploration intertwines the beauty of art and nature, while emphasizing the importance of trees! For more information, email dawn.tanner@conyersga.gov, 770-860-4190.
