OUR RECENT SUCCESS STORIES

 | Beech Creek Valley (photo: Nancy Rhoda)
Williamson County: Four landowners have conserved 256 acres of woodlands and farmland
along South Beech Creek Road through permanent conservation agreements with the statewide nonprofit land conservation organization.
Beech Creek Valley sits like a fragile flower nestled between Grassland to the west and the fast-growing Brentwood city limits to the east.
South Beech Creek Road winds through the valley, flanked by a tunnel of trees and series of old stone walls. While it was once protected by inaccessibility,
it is now safe-guarded by a group of like-minded neighbors who banded together to maintain the woods and scenic hills that make his snug valley so unique.
|  | Lost Cove
Cumberland Plateau: The Land Trust completed an exciting four-year effort to purchase and permanently protect Lost and Champion Coves. This prize land on the southern Cumberland Plateau could only be saved through a purchase.
|  | Mayfield Family Farm
McMinn County: The original Mayfield Dairy farm, from which grew the family's renowned ice cream and dairy fare business, will be conserved as farmland forever. Nearly 700 acres of rolling farmland and forests, with pine and hardwoods dotting the landscape along State Route 307 and interesected by the Oostanaula Creek, will remain as it has been since 1820.
|  | Dixona Farm
Smith County: Dixona Farm, one of Middle Tennessee's most historic sites has been conserved forever with a conservation easement donated by Faith Adams Young. The farm, with 148 acres of pasture and forest on Dixon Creek, contains one of the oldest homes in Middle Tennessee.
|  | Beaman Park to Bells Bend
Davidson County : The Beaman Park to Bells Bend project corridor presents an unprecedented opportunity for Nashville and Davidson County to become a regional leader in rural conservation. Few, if any, cities of Nashville's size retain an intact historic rural and agricultural landscape only fifteen to thirty minutes from their downtown. Buffered from development by the Cumberland River on the south and the hills of the Western Highland Rim on the north, the project corridor's abundant natural, cultural, and recreational resources hold vast potential to improve the quality of life of its residents and the greater population of Metro Nashville. It is an "irreplaceable jewel" of natural beauty that could very easily be lost without careful planning, and one that is likely candidate for a determination of eligibility as a National Register of Historic Places rural historic and archaeological district.
