The Historic Oakland Foundation is undertaking a massive effort to restore Oakland for today's Atlantans, and preserve it for future generations. This involves the repair of literally thousands of pieces of art and architecture as well as walls, walkways, and markers, and a thorough enhancement of the landscape, from removing impaired trees, to replanting trees and shrubs, to installing historically appropriate plants that can be readily maintained.
The positive impact already is obvious in the first phase of restoration which focuses on grounds adjacent to the Bell Tower. Work on phase two has begun, but years of work remain to be done. In order to complete the task of restoring Oakland to be again the treasure that it can be, the Foundation must raise approximately $15 million, and $10 million for an endowment to maintain Oakland into the future. The goal is for Oakland never to fall into disrepair again.
