List Of Georgia Land Trusts


March 23, 2009

The Land Trust Alliance defines a land trust as a "nonprofit organization that, as all or part of its mission, actively works to conserve land by undertaking or assisting direct land transactions - primarily the purchase or acceptance of donations of land or easements." The following list of land trusts includes those national, multi-state, statewide and local land trusts that are directly and actively involved in land-saving action in Georgia.

The listings are alphabetical. Within each listing, contact information for the organization is provided first. This is followed by the names of staff or a key contact, with contact information if different from or supplementary to the organizational listing (example: the executive director's email address).

This list is maintained by Hans Neuhauser, Executive Director of The Georgia Land Trust Service Center. For the most recent list or to provide additions and corrections, contact the Service Center, 380 Meigs Street, Athens, GA 30601; telephone 706-546-7507, fax 706-613-7775; e-mail: hansneuhauser@bellsouth.net.
