Austin Property
Energy for our homes is provided by electricity, and energy for our bodies is provided by the food we eat. For rivers and streams, the energy comes from a less obvious source - buffers. Vegetative buffers provide a place where organic material (called detritus) can decompose and be used as food for aquatic bacteria, plants and fish. The City of Atlanta Greenway Acquisition Project will protect at least a 100-foot vegetative buffer from the river or stream bank. The acquisition of the Austin property, located in a residential area of southwest Atlanta, will ensure that approximately 133 feet of the stream bank remains a source of energy for plants and animals in the South Utoy Creek ecosystem.
