Mission: To Establish and Implement a Local Source of Funding in Oconee County to Protect
- Historic and cultural landmarks like Stumphouse Mountain and Oconee Station
- Productive agricultural lands
- High quality watershed lands to protect drinking water and recreation opportunities
- Significant forest areas that provide ecological diversity, timber land, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities
- Scenic beauty and outstanding vistas
We have to conserve the treasures we have, because when it's gone, it'll be gone forever. The movement to conserve what we can has to start now before it is too late. I would like to see Oconee grow in a planned way rather than chaotic way.
- J. Harold Thomas, Chair, Oconee County Conservation Bank Committee
