Our Founder, Nyck Hawk’s love for nature began early. His first landscaping job at the age of 8 years old cultivated a true outdoorsman. Following in his father’s footsteps with an appreciation for the environment, Nyck went on to perform habitat restoration work nationwide.
Now, Nyck has focused his vision on :
”The Forest”, 10+ acres of woodlands and wetlands in Paulding County, GA. On this land, he started the first phase of memorial orchard and garden in honor of his father. Soon, the orchard will expand from peaches, apples, blackberries and grapes to include figs, pecans and other edible offerings—including chickens, quails and more!
Services that Grow With the Land
From habitat restoration and land stewardship to orchard development and outdoor experiences, The Forest brings together hands-on services rooted in conservation, sustainability, and a deep respect for the natural world. Our work is designed to care for the land while creating opportunities for people to connect, learn, and grow.
