Conservation deal protects thousands of forest acres on Georgia-Alabama border

Conservation partners have completed a major conservation deal on the Georgia-Alabama state border, conserving 10,000 acres of critical forests and watersheds. 

The Conservation Fund, a nonprofit that specializes in acquiring environmentally at-risk land, recently announced the completion of its Stateline Forest project. 

“There are these beautiful rolling forests that run from this part of West Georgia all the way to the Alabama line, a lot of waterways, the Tallapoosa River is there, Terrapin Creek, which is a branch of the Coosa River,” said Stacy Funderburke, vice president of the central Southeast region at The Conservation Fund.
