On September 4 2025, Team Terry joined the community at Gresham Park Recreation Center for a Meet & Greet with South West DeKalb Park Naturalist, Tasha. The event reintroduced residents to Tasha’s work, which is designed to bring the outdoors to life, inspire environmental stewardship, and make learning about nature both fun and meaningful for all ages. The evening created space for connection and conversation, giving attendees the opportunity to learn more about programs led by Naturalist Tasha and to share their own ideas for the future of local parks. Her efforts not only steward the earth but also inspire residents to care for the environment! Tasha has accomplished so much in her first year as the South West DeKalb Park Naturalist with many more plans for the future such as community clean-ups, bird watching, and even a forest fashion show.
