Phoenix Flies…into the Nest!
On March 22, join Trees Atlanta Executive Director, Greg Levine, to learn about the unique urban forest in the historic West End neighborhood via our very own The Wren's Nest as part of this season’s Phoenix Flies Series! Trees Atlanta has been planting trees in our neighborhood for over thirty years. On the tour you'll hear about neighborhood tree advocates like Brenda Arrington who left a legacy of a diverse urban forest.
Tours are FREE, begin and end at The Wren’s Nest and will allow participants to explore our campus and learn about the trees that help to make our museum a special location in the neighborhood. The tour is timed so you can attend then get back to *The Wren’s Nest in time for storytelling at 1pm. Tickets for this tour and all the wonderful offerings on the program are NOW AVAILABLE.
*A tour of The Wren's Nest and storytelling performance are not included as part of Phoenix Flies tour and must be purchased separately.
About Phoenix Flies
Atlanta’s historic built environment of buildings, landscapes and neighborhoods is an integral part of the city’s culture and economy. Phoenix Flies: A Celebration of Atlanta’s Historic Sites provides an opportunity to learn about, celebrate and strengthen Atlanta’s historic and cultural assets. The celebration was created in 2003 by the Atlanta Preservation Center as a way to celebrate the anniversary of the dramatic rescue of the Fox Theatre, an event that changed Atlanta’s preservation perspective forever. Phoenix Flies 2025 is the 22nd year that the APC has brought together organizations and individuals from around the community to demonstrate the value of Atlanta’s historic built environment. The celebration has grown from 16 preservation partners and 40 events to an average of 100 partners offering over 200 events each year.
