John Ripley Forbes Big Trees Forest Preserve is a beautiful and unique 30-acre tree, plant, and wildlife sanctuary in Sandy Springs. Once slated to become a car dealer parking lot, the 30-acre old growth forest was saved through a co-operative partnership with Southeast Land Preservation Trust, Fulton County, the State of Georgia and private citizens.
