We are delighted to share with every guest our vision of a better future. By consciously preserving the biodiversity of our 1400 acres, improving our community, & ensuring every boutique, thought-provoking experience is accompanied by an awareness effort, you’ll learn how key initiatives can help improve the wellbeing of lands across our country and of the precious wildlife living on them.
By planning future efforts & engaging in the current initiatives below, we strive to ensure that future generations will celebrate, cherish and continue these responsible practices.
Our Pillars of Conservation:
- Preservation of local ecosystems
- Indigenous flora
- Soil Regeneration
- Waste Management
- Recycling & Composting
- Water Conservation
- Energy Efficiency
Water Management
One point always present in our mind is the soon to arrive, global water scarcity. This is an ever growing challenge.
Palmetto Creek on our property has roughly 5 or 6 tributaries running into it. Daily, we are working and researching how to manage them better; from responsible beaver damn management to helping water flow unobstructed as we try to avoid “bottle necks.”
The less bottle necks we can create, the more water will flow to our forests and wildlife.
We are currently planning to build a 10–12 acre reservoir that will enhance the quality of our habitat, our wildlife, and soils.
Recycling & Composting
Today, we are recycling more than ever and have been careful to partner up with companies that are maximizing waste and reducing its output.
We have learned much from our 12 year relationship with Eurofins, Agricultural Global Company, and we support their efforts to make agricultural products safe and beneficial to our ecosystem.
Reforestation
Pine trees are an integral part of Georgia agriculture in the region and serve both economical and environmental purposes. With one acre of pine trees absorbing 10 tons of CO2 per year, our planted pine trees are contributing greatly towards efforts to reduce the amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere.
The pine straw harvested from our land is not only an attractive mulch alternative in garden beds for our consumers, but it also serves as a natural weed deterrent and saves on water consumption.
“And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord; I bring low the high tree, and make high the low tree, dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree flourish. I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it.”
Ezekiel 17:24
