The City of Rome Tree Board was awarded a Georgia reLeaf Grant through the Georgia Forestry Commission, allowing the city to plant large-growth trees in Covington Park!
This project is a powerful example of what collaboration and green infrastructure can do for our community. Large-growth trees don’t just look good, they create critical wildlife habitat, help with stormwater mitigation, provide much-needed shade, and enhance the overall beauty and usability of the park for everyone who enjoys it.
A huge thank you to BDS Landscapes, the contractor selected for this project, and to the municipal arborists, community foresters, and City of Rome Tree Board members whose hard work and dedication made this possible. We’re also grateful for the continued support and backing of City leadership, who recognize the long-term value of investing in our urban forest.
This is how we grow a healthier, more resilient, and more beautiful Rome, together.
