Athens Land Trust protects a family’s farmland in Oconee County, provides conservation and housing services

Athens Land Trust announced that it permanently protected 42.5 acres of farmland in Oconee County. The farmland preserved in this effort belongs to the Nedza family. The help they received from Athens Land Trust was born out of an interest in preserving their acreage, preventing it from being acquired by developers and educating future generations on the importance of agriculture.
