The Land Conservation Clinic recently organized a visit to a 223-acre property safeguarded by a conservation easement. This visit allowed students to learn about the landowner's innovative approaches to preserving the site and boosting biodiversity. The property, home to a significant tributary of the Oconee River, provided students with a firsthand view of the effects of a conservation easement.

A group of 14 students participated in the visit. This group included eight students from the law school, and six master's students from the University of Georgia's Odum School of Ecology and the College of Environment + Design.
