Reintroducing the Chattahoochee Hill Country Conservancy

Last night at the City of Chatt Hills Council meeting, we were honored to share an exciting update: the reintroduction of the Chattahoochee Hill Country Conservancy (CHCC) to our community.

Founded in 2002, the Conservancy has played a vital role in shaping Chatt Hills’ unique land-use plan and protecting our rural character.

After a period of renewal, CHCC is stepping forward with a clear mission and vision for the future:

To protect and activate the natural, cultural, and agricultural resources of Chatt Hills, ensuring that growth and preservation move forward hand-in-hand.

What We Shared at the Council Meeting

During the presentation, we highlighted how the Conservancy is working to:

🌳 Preserve farmland and natural spaces through partnerships and conservation agreements
🥕 Strengthen our local food system with farmer forums, grantwriting, infrastructure needs, and local food access initiatives
🎨 Build agritourism opportunities like the Ag + Art Tour and new farm signage program
🤝 Connect landowners, the City, and residents to ensure thoughtful planning and smart growth
