Volunteers

are being sought to help the Peachtree City Beautification Committee Saturday

morning during its annual tree planting.

This year,

the committee will use 500 dogwood trees to help beautify Braelinn Ponds

Park, which is on South Peachtree City Parkway across from the entrance

to K-Mart. Another 1,000 trees will be planted on city rights of way to

help reforest rights of way that are currently mowed by the city's public

works department.

Volunteers

with younger children are encouraged to participate at the Braelinn Ponds

site because of the reduced traffic in the area.

Those wishing

to participate can meet at City Hall at 9 a.m. or at the park's parking

lot at 9:15 a.m. The event is scheduled to last until noon.

In the past

decade, the committee has added thousands of trees to the rights of way

of Peachtree Parkway, Robinson Road and Flat Creek Road, along the banks

of Lake Peachtree and at the Line Creek Nature Area. Last year, volunteers

helped reforest areas on South Peachtree Parkway at Crosstown Road and

at the Braelinn Recreation Area.
