Event details
Planned Activities
We will cut vegetation within a Civil War trench and 2 gun artillery redan, which remain from General Johnston’s Chattahoochee River Line in Cobb County, Georgia. The vegetation maintenance is necessary for visitors to view the Civil War earthworks described by the park interpretive signs. If feasible, we may also work on wisteria (invasive vines) removal in another section of the park.
