Pope Street • Athens, Georgia 30601 www.athenslandtrust.org 706.613.0122 Newsletter Spring 2017 • Volume 20 • Issue 1 ALT is Stronger Thanks to Our Volunteers! Iowa State University students volunteering Volunteer David Court performs weekly at the Employees from Hughes Subaru of Athens at at Williams Farm. West Broad Farmers Market. Williams Farm. The last week in April marks National Volunteer Week, a time to spotlight the integral role volunteers play in supporting organizations in their communities. Every day, ALT is better able to serve those in need in our community thanks to dedicated, hardworking, and passionate volunteers from Athens and beyond. Over the past year, volunteers have contributed more than 3,000 hours in support of ALT’s programs! Since last fall,Trinity Accounting Group, Athens Church, students with UGA IMPACT, ServeUGA and the Department of Horticulture, and students from Coile Middle School were among the groups that helped out at Williams Farm, the West Broad Farmers Market and Garden, Five Acre Woods, and at ALT’s special events. This spring, volunteers came from near and far to Williams Farm: we hosted teams from Hughes Subaru of Athens, as well as 43 students and advisors from the Iowa State University chapter of Students Today Leaders Forever, who completed service projects in six cities across the country as part of their Spring Break Pay It Forward Tour. These groups helped clear privet, spread mulch and compost, painted the facilities in the farm’s pavilion, dug irrigation trenches, and more. To all of our volunteers we say: Thank you for your service! We can do what we do only with your help! Athens-Clarke County’s MLK Day 2017 at the West Broad Garden On Monday, January 16th, ALT participated in the 15th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. Nearly 1,000 people in and around Athens joined in, including more than 150 at the West Broad Market Garden. This event has grown in scope and size over the years, emboldened by President Obama’s mandate to make Martin Luther King Day a “day on, not a day off,” and through an awareness of the importance of individuals in championing change within the community. After all of the hard work, ALT hosted a celebration with entertainment, speeches, and performances from several members of the community, including Zeke Turner, Maxim Debonair, Mia, West Broad Farmers Market vendor and new ALT employee, Musa Hasan, and members of the Young Urban Farmers. It was a warm, sunny day, perfect for celebrating the legacy of Dr. King through service, fellowship, and a commitment to bettering our community.

  • Perceptions of Safety on the North Oconee River Greenway
    PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY ON THE NORTH OCONEE RIVER GREENWAY by EMILY REED FEAGAN (Under the Direction of David Spooner) ABSTRACT This thesis examines whether negative perceptions of safety are affecting use of the North Oconee River Greenway (NORG). Previous research shows that negative perceptions of safety are obstacles to use for public outdoor spaces in both urban and natural settings. A review of relevant literature and theory indicates that perceptions of safety, fear of crime, and crime itself, can be influenced by physical site design. A survey questionnaire focused on trail use and perceptions of the NORG was distributed to people in Athens-Clarke County; survey results were analyzed, examined through the lens of relevant theories and previous research, and are discussed as to what they mean for the NORG. The survey results show that negative perceptions of safety on the NORG exist and may affect people’s use and frequency of use of it. This thesis also shows how these perceptions can be ameliorated to an extent through environmental design measures. INDEX WORDS: Landscape architecture, Greenways, Perception of safety, Safety, Fear, Crime, Defensible space theory, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, Survey, Questionnaire, North Oconee River Greenway, Athens, Georgia PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY ON THE NORTH OCONEE RIVER GREENWAY by EMILY REED FEAGAN B.S., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 2006 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ATHENS, GEORGIA 2011 © 2011 Emily Reed Feagan All Rights Reserved PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY ON THE NORTH OCONEE RIVER GREENWAY by EMILY REED FEAGAN Major Professor: David Spooner Committee: Katherine Melcher Lara Mathes Melinda Cochran Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia August 2011 DEDICATION For my grandparents, Duke and Nancy Reed and Bessie Feagan, who always gave me encouragement and provided my life with joy.
