Grant Park Conservancy

Grant Park Atlanta integrates conservation science with cultural programming through its environmental stewardship initiatives in Georgia's oldest city park. The organization manages habitat restoration projects and professional development programs, training interns in greenspace maintenance and ecological management techniques. Their conservation work spans invasive species removal, native plant restoration, and sustainable park infrastructure maintenance. The park hosts recurring art markets and cultural festivals that showcase local artisans and environmental education exhibits. These events combine traditional craftwork demonstrations with workshops on urban ecology and natural resource conservation. Festival proceeds support ongoing park preservation efforts and community-based environmental programs. Grant Park's professional development track provides structured pathways into park management and conservation careers. Internship participants gain direct experience in habitat assessment, restoration planning, and project coordination while contributing to active preservation initiatives. The program maintains partnerships with regional environmental organizations and cultural institutions to expand training and placement opportunities.
