Greg joined Trees Atlanta in 1995 and since then has been hands-on leading all facets of programming, as well as organizing partners, communities, and volunteers that support the mission of Trees Atlanta. As the Chief Program Officer, Greg oversees neighborhood and city plantings, forest restoration, advocacy, and the urban forestry teams that currently work in 14 municipalities in metro Atlanta. Under his leadership, Trees Atlanta forged a strong partnership with the Atlanta BeltLine that resulted in the establishment and development of the Atlanta BeltLine Arboretum. Trees Atlanta has planted over 150,000 trees and adds up to 7,000 new trees each year, including the creation of the Flowering Forest, a 1.5-mile tree tribute to John Lewis, a project that will likely become another canopy landmark in the City of Atlanta in the years to come. Greg has a Bachelor’s Degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Georgia and is an ISA Certified Arborist.
