The Fund facilitated an unusual land exchange that will benefit both the environment and elementary school children. Accommodating growth while protecting natural resources, the agreement calls for the Fulton County Board of Education to return Connally Park — an area that boasts 200-year-old oaks — to the city of East Point with a land-preserving conservation easement held by America’s Watershed Landkeepers.
