AMELIA TREE CONSERVANCY INC

What they do

ATC HAS EFFECTED CHANGE THROUGH ADVOCACY. ATC TESTIFIES AT MEETINGS and WRITES LETTERS REGARDING TREES and OUR MARITIME FOREST, DEVELOPMENT, WETLANDS and DENSITY ISSUES THAT IMPACT OUR TREES. ATC ALSO MEETS WITH DEVELOPERS, ARCHITECTS, BUILDERS, and UTILITY COMPANIES. ATC HAS ESTABLISHED and VALUES STRONG WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS ON THEIR ISLAND. ATC HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED COMMUNITY AWARENESS REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE of OUR TREES AS WELL AS THE RATE of CANOPY LOSS BY PROVIDING PRESENTATIONS, COMMUNITY MEETINGS, BOOTHS AT WILD AMELIAS ECO-EXPO and OTHER EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, ARTICLES and ADVERTISING. ATC PROMOTES THE PLANTING of SHADE TREES IN OUR COMMUNITY and PROVIDES SUPPORT for OTHER ORGANIZATIONS UNDERTAKING THIS EFFORT. WE HAVE PLANTED TREES IN EGANS PARK and AT THE BOYS and GIRLS CLUB and BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER PLANTING EFFORTS, SUCH AS LANDSCAPING AT THE FERNANDINA BEACH LIBRARY.
