When it comes to land, Georgia is truly blessed. The state’s diverse landscape provides clean air and water, public recreation lands, habitat for rare species, productive forest and farmland, and provides our citizens and communities with a connection to nature.

However, less than five percent of Georgia’s land is permanently conserved and available for public use. Meanwhile, Georgia remains among the nation’s fastest growing states, currently ranking third nationally. Each day, more of the state’s landscape is transformed by development and other uses to support a growing population and economy.

To help manage this transformation, the Georgia Land Conservation Program (GLCP) brings together private and public entities to preserve our vital natural resources for future generations.
