Morningside Nature Preserve

Tucked away in Atlanta’s Morningside neighborhood is this beautiful 33-acre escape from the city. The nature preserve was created after the community rallied to save the area from development with more than 600 households in the area raising $150,000 to protect the land. Since then, the City of Atlanta and organizations like the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation helped fund the project as well.
