Atlanta Beltline Arboretum

A Dynamic Ecological Connector

The Atlanta Beltline Arboretum is a linear greenway along the Beltline corridor. It is a habitat of trees, grasses, and wildflowers that beautify the trail and attract wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and pollinators.

Designed for Sustainable Landscape Management

The Beltline is home to one of the region's largest and most significant arboretum, purposefully cultivated to restore the urban ecosystem. This vibrant collection includes a variety of trees, woody plants, grasses, and wildflowers. As trail development progresses, the Arboretum will grow further with the addition of new trees incorporated into its collections.

Trees and greenery shine in the light.

Partners in Enhancing Our Urban Forest

We partnered with Trees Atlanta for the design, installation, and maintenance of the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum. Trees Atlanta also serves as an education and community program partner to ensure program access to everyone in Atlanta.

This one-of-a-kind linear expanse provides neighborhood connectivity along the Beltline while showcasing the unique natural characteristics within each community. The Arboretum is a free and open-to-all green museum.
