GIPL gone Wylde!! 🐌🐞🪰 Last month, local Green Team leaders spent a day learning about #ReWilding and touring, and working at the @wylde_center Sugar Creek site in Decatur. #FaithInAction

This year, we especially honor Tally Sweat who passed away in August. Tally was a great friend of GIPL and worked closely with us on the leadership team of @protect_georgia. She was a staunch advocate for Georgia wildlife and a dedicated public servant. 🖤

“From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host..." (William Walsham How, 1864) Today, on this #AllSaintsDay we remember and give thanks for all the faithful environmental heroes who have brought us with love thus far.
