During its inaugural year of operation, the Land Conservation Clinic provided over 3,200 hours of service to 13 clients, including land trusts, state and national conservation organizations, and government agencies. Law students and ecology graduate students collaborated to advance land conservation in Georgia. Their efforts included incorporating a new land trust that serves the Lake Lanier region, drafting several conservation easements across Georgia, crafting deed restrictions for a land trust-owned preserve, and helping to host a wetlands protection workshop.
