Jean Handy Farm ~ 47 acres, Chatham County

Jean Handy.  Donation of Conservation Easement.

One of the first three conservation easements granted in the Sutphin Mill Community, this farm was protected in 1996.  The protection of this farm ensured that the property cannot be developed for non-agricultural purposes and that its open space character will be retained.  Situated adjacent to the previously protected Crider Farm, the protection of this farm contributes to the long-term viability of agriculture in the Sutphin Mill Community and brought the total protected acres in Sutphin Mill to about 220 acres. 

Project funding provided by the landowner and the Weaver Foundation.
