Callaway, GA

To help preserve the Piedmont region’s dwindling hardwood forests and pine ecosystems, the Fund worked closely with the Ida Cason Callaway Foundation, Georgia Forestry Commission, and USDA Forest Service to purchase a conservation easement on 2,500 acres of woodlands and streams in central Georgia. Nestled in the southernmost foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, the forest will provide critical connections to the 23-mile Pine Mountain Trail and Franklin Delano Roosevelt State Park.
