ATLANTA, April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Every April, Georgia Power employees celebrate Earth Day all month long by participating in stewardship projects that protect and enhance the communities in which they live and work. This year, employees are once again joining in through virtual or in-person projects – while taking pandemic precautions like social distancing and hygiene precautions – to support a variety of environmental initiatives.
A few of the efforts around the state taking place virtually or in-person this month with Georgia Power volunteers or support include:
Georgia Power Presents Earth Day at Atlanta Botanical Garden
Georgia Power this year is the presenting sponsor of the Atlanta Botanical Garden's Earth Day Celebration. Visitors can celebrate nature with their children in the Atlanta Botanical Garden on this Thursday, April 22. Make a garden-inspired creation out of natural materials, watch special performances on the Great Lawn at 10:30 or 11:15 a.m., and hunt for beautiful art made from recycled materials by talented volunteers. Activities are set up for comfort and safety during the pandemic.
Water Grant Projects
In addition to environmental service projects that enhance and beautify communities across the state, the Georgia Power Foundation recently highlighted $1 million in environmental grants awarded to eight organizations in Georgia, funding projects focused on preserving and restoring Georgia's waterways, lakes and rivers. These organizations share the company's focus on preserving Georgia's waterways and is just one way Georgia Power helps ensure future generations enjoy the benefits these projects bring for years to come. Projects in both urban and rural settings address areas from riverbank stabilization and reduction of agricultural runoff, to installing rain gardens and permeable pavement, and improving fish and other aquatic species' habitats.
Supporting Partnerships and Celebrating Successes
This Earth Day, the company is also celebrating long partnerships, such as with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and highlighting work done to help save endangered or threatened species in Georgia and across the Southeast, like the red-cockaded woodpecker. The company is proud to continue work with many partners to protect this vital species by restoring their longleaf pine habitats and monitoring their populations. This bird is being called the "comeback kid" for its recent resurgence.
