The Atlanta Beltline Arboretum is a gateless linear public garden primarily focused on diverse native species of Georgia and southeastern U.S. The Atlanta Beltline Arboretum is an integrated part of Atlanta’s urban forest. This community greenspace acts as natural green infrastructure, ecological corridor, and a learning landscape. Dynamic collections of wild and cultivated tree and woody plant species, along with extensive southeastern grass and forb groundcover, showcase sustainable landscape management and demonstrates native plant use in an urban setting. It is a place for beauty, education, restoration, community science, and scientific research.

Managed by Trees Atlanta, in partnership with Atlanta Beltline, Inc., Atlanta Beltline Partnership, and the City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation, the arboretum follows the Atlanta Beltline which encircles the urban center of the city and connects 45 neighborhoods in Atlanta. By 2030, the Beltline Arboretum will comprise over 100 acres along 22 miles of former industrial railways. Currently, with more than half of the Beltline completed, the Beltline Arboretum is recognized as the world’s longest accredited linear arboretum.
