Organized by

For twenty-five years, in the midst of the Southeast’s largest and fastest-growing metropolitan area, the Madison-Morgan Conservancy has been protecting farms, forests, and front porches for future generations, successfully protecting critical resources and creating a culture of conservation like nowhere else in Georgia. Thanks to the Conservancy's 600+ members and hundreds of donors, Morgan County now boasts of 6,000+ acres of permanently protected land - a solid start to protecting a critical mass of farmland that will help our communities keep sprawl from converting all our open land to pavement and rooftops. Now in its 25th year, the Conservancy is working to become Georgia's first accredited regional land trust since the 1990s to help this region remain productive, wild, and beautiful for generations to come.
