Some places are worth protecting, forever.

For more than 35 years, we have helped North Georgia landowners permanently protect the mountains, forests, and farmland they love for their families and for generations to come.

Are you a landowner in North Georgia?

We work with landowners across North Georgia to create a lasting legacy on their property. Tailoring each project to meet your goals, we can help you permanently protect your land using a range of tools and strategies.

“Our north Georgia mountains are masses of ancient rock on which life has but a tenuous foothold. A short history of the area's geology helps us appreciate nature's management of such finite entities as water, air, and soil in such remarkably beautiful surroundings.”

To protect the mountains, forests, waters, and working lands of North Georgia, permanently, voluntarily, and in partnership with the people who love them most.

Since 1991, we have worked alongside North Georgia landowners to ensure the region's most treasured landscapes endure for the generations to come.
