The Sandy Springs Conservancy 2024 season of guided Trail Blazers walks brought our walkers from Atlanta to Dunwoody to Sandy Springs to explore 8 parks with expert guides! Many thanks to all of our guides this year and everyone who participated! Check out our Facebook page for photo galleries from each walk.
Each month we visited a different park, learning about the history and features that make these parks unique.

Our popular Trail Blazers series of monthly guided walks take place March – October on the second Saturdays of the month at 8:30 a.m. different parks in Sandy Springs and neighboring communities. Our walks last about an hour and are led by guides who share with us their knowledge/history and/or interesting facts of the location.
