Help the Park. Win Major Cash!

Did you know that invasive plant species like privet and ivy are taking over our community parks by strangling and crowding out native plants? Renewal Design-Build, along with DeKalb County and the City of Decatur, call on neighbors like you to help save our precious greenspaces.
