The Georgia Conservancy is an American non-profit environmental organization in the U.S. state of Georgia that collaborates, advocates, and educates to protect Georgia's natural environment. It was founded in 1967.[1] Called "the state's most influential environmental organization" by Georgia Trend magazine, the Georgia Conservancy focuses on environmental advocacy, land conservation, coastal protection, stream protection, outdoor recreation, stewardship, and growth management. Its mission is: “To protect Georgia's natural resources for present and future generations by advocating sound environmental policies, advancing sustainable growth practices and facilitating common-ground solutions to environmental challenges.”[2]
The Georgia Conservancy's main office is in Midtown Atlanta. The group also has an office in Savannah, Georgia that focuses on issues affecting the Georgia coast. The group offers stewardship trips[3] and has released guidebooks.
