About Park Renewal Day
Founded in 2008, Park Renewal Day helps to raise awareness about invasive plants and bring the community to rejuvenate our shared green space.
Did you know that invasive plant species like Chinese privet and English ivy are taking over our community parks by strangling and crowding out native plants?
The Objective
Renewal Design-Build, along with DeKalb County Parks,
DeKalb County Greenspace, and the City of Decatur, call on neighbors
like you to help save our precious green spaces. Teammates work together to clear their plots of invasive species and debris, competing against other teams.
The Competition
Teams compete for prize money by uprooting invasive plants in one of
our local community parks. Officials from DeKalb County and the City of
Decatur will judge the quality and quantity of work done to each group’s
designated work space.
