Storza Woods

Storza Woods, which accounts for 15 of the Atlanta Botanical Garden's 30 acres, is one of the few remaining mature hardwood forests in the the City of Atlanta. The woods contain a variety of hardwood trees including maple, oak, tulip poplar, beech, black cherry, hackberry and flowering dogwood. The shortleaf and loblolly pines are also found there. Native flowers include bloodroot, a variety of trilliums and wild ginger.

Storza Woods is left in a natural state with the exception of a maintained trail and the control and removal of exotic plants. There is a 1.25-mile nature trail that leads visitors through the woodland and a footpath leading along Clear Creek. The conservation and restoration of Storza Woods is supported by MeadWestvaco to encourage appreciation of forest resources.
