The Chattahoochee Fall Line Conservation Partnership (CFLCP) is working to establish a conservation corridor that restores longleaf pine and is managed to conserve the natural heritage and quality of life of the Chattahoochee Fall Line region. Partners include private landowners, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, elected officials and community leaders from all over West Georgia and East A
labama. Our vision is a sustainable landscape of native wildlife and plant communities including: healthy longleaf pine forests, streams, wetlands and working lands. Such a landscape supports forestry, farming, hunting, outdoor recreation and tourism, while providing a buffer of conservation lands around military training activities on Fort Benning. Working together, the CFLCP Partners will encourage the protection, restoration and management of up to 40,000 acres around Ft. Benning explicitly for conservation purposes by the year 2020. This conservation corridor will provide a buffer of natural lands between active military training and daily life outside the boundaries of the installation while protecting the very unique natural heritage of the region. CFLCP Partners include: Chattahoochee Valley Land Trust*, City of Columbus, Columbus State University, Georgia Dept. of Natural Resources*, Georgia Forestry Commission*, Jones Ecological Research Center*, The Longleaf Alliance*, MeadWestvaco Foundation, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, National Wild Turkey Federation, Natural Resources Conservation Service*, Oxbow Meadows Environmental Center, Private Landowners, Southern Company, The Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy*, The Trust for Public Land, U.S.
