Hidden treasure boxes in the woods? Sign me up! Geocaching is a treasure-hunting game in which participants use GPS technology to find containers called "caches" at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world. You'll never know what you'll find in these secret treasure boxes! Mason Mill Park has more than 10 geocaches and you are invited to explore the park, learn to use latitude & longitude, and find hidden caches containing science facts about the park.

CATCH THAT CARBON!
Wednesday, 03/16/2022 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm

Vacant spaces into vibrant places! Groundwork Atlanta takes city spots to which you may not have given a second glance and turns them into spaces that matter to people in our city. Join us in one of these very spots that we’ve used for an exploration of in-town farming and urban agriculture. On this interactive tour of our very own Carbon Farm, you’ll get to see, hear, smell, touch and taste how we are using the land to trap carbon and grow food!
