A Greenspace is property devoted to preserving the natural qualities of a particular location. It can be a simple as just grass and trees, or can include places to sit and resources for feeding birds.

There are several compelling reasons to establish the Greenspace in the Forrest Hills subdivision.

• In our urban environment, undeveloped land is rare. The beauty of a natural space preserved for ourselves, our families, and future residents is a priceless treasure. It provides a sanctuary not only for people, but for birds, plants and other wildlife.

• Small neighborhood parks enhance property value. Some examples are found in Virginia-Highlands, Peachtree Park , and Avondale Estates.

• Maintaining an undeveloped lot property discourages unauthorized use or littering by folks who don't live here.

• Community ownership of this property may be valuable as a strategic buffer between Forrest Hills and commercial properties, such as the Seminary and BellSouth.
