Conservancy Tasks 

• Generally supervise our buffer areas, greenspaces, and park. 
• Coordinate the annual monitoring visit with the Georgia Piedmont Land Trust. 
• Make recommendations for updating and enhancing the BLC area of the city website. 
• Make recommendations for content of two community training events that need to be held in fulfilling part of our Tree Grant commitments. 
• Monitor the existing path in the greenspace regularly for possible erosion.  
• Explore and pursue possible additional greenspace areas in our city that could be permanently protected. Lobby owners toward that end, and, if successful, assist them with easement creation.
• Conduct and coordinate activities that maintain our status as a Tree City, including planting trees in the city at least yearly and documenting the planting.   
• Make routine visits to protected areas to ensure their well-being.
