Georgians have had limited access to the Chattahoochee River for decades. When completed, the Chattahoochee RiverLands project will change that. A network of greenways, trails, and parks, this project will provide river access to more than 1 million people in greater Atlanta. We're partnering with people and organizations across the region to create an iconic outdoor space grounded in equity, health, community, and inclusion.

Just in time for spring, we've unveiled a new look. The culmination of a thoughtful and deliberate process, we spent nearly two years working to develop our new brand. We have a new logo and colors, but our mission is the same: we're more committed than ever to connecting everyone to the outdoors—one park, one trail, one schoolyard at a time.

Updates from across the Country

Spring is just around the corner in the soon-to-be Dundee Community Forest. Pristine streams are starting to swell with snowmelt, and wildlife is becoming more active as the days lengthen. Soon, songbirds will greet each other as fresh greenery pushes up to meet the sun. As the natural world renews, backcountry skiers and snowshoers will trade in their gear for mountain bikes and hiking boots. Plenty to celebrate.

The Yurok Tribe's land once spanned more than 1 million acres but is now centered on 44 miles of the Klamath River in Northern California. Last year, we partnered with the tribe to secure 2,000 additional acres of forestland for tribal stewardship. The reclaimed land expands the tribe's hunting and fishing grounds as well as opportunities to build financial resilience and battle climate change.

A rainstorm in 2002 flooded Atlanta's Vine City and English Avenue neighborhoods, destroying dozens of homes and displacing residents. In the aftermath of the flood, we partnered with Atlanta and the community to transform 16 acres of flood-prone land into a vibrant park, engineered to alleviate the risks of future flooding. This new park opened last year, marking a new beginning for this community.
