The Southern Conservation Trust staff traded a day in the field for a day of collaboration at the annual meeting of the Association of Georgia Land Trusts hosted at the Georgia Wildlife Federation office in Covington, GA! From strategic mapping exercises and innovative tools to conversations about Georgia’s changing land use trends, the day was packed with ideas and inspiration. Our favorite part? Catching up with familiar faces and meeting new partners who share the same passion for protecting Georgia’s lands and natural resources. We always leave this conference feeling energized, connected, and excited for the work ahead!
