Lula Lake News
Earlier this year our board of directors decided we
needed to do a better job of keeping you informed of news,
upcoming activities, and general information about the
Lula Lake Land Trust (LLLT). After talking with several
of our sustaining donors, it was suggested we create a monthly
electronic newsletter to help with this task. While this
may not be an ideal format for everyone, many of our friends
and donors do prefer electronic updates and we've decided to
begin with this, our first issue.
You've been added to this list because at some point in
the past you provided us with your contact
information. If you do not wish to receive these monthly
newsletters, simple instructions on how to be removed can be
found at the bottom of this email.
Also, over the next several months we'll be working on
our new website. We'll let you know when it's ready -
but expect great
things! | |
Corporate Sponsorship
The LLLT
would like to recognize Corporate Sponsors for our 2008 Open
Day Series. To date we have raised $5250 of the $25,000 in
sponsorships, so we'd like to express our appreciation to
Chattem, Rock Creek Outfitters, and Stone Source for their
support!
We are off to a
great start but need your help! Corporate
sponsors are frequently mentioned at our meetings
and events, will be displayed on our website, and have their
name / logo added to a banner that will soon be on
display at all times at the LLLT. Call Adelaide Bratcher at
423-240-6046 for more information.

 From the Desk of Katherine Eddins, Executive
Director of the
LLLT
We are just
about through hammering out the details of an Operating
Agreement with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to
operate the Cloudland Connector Trail. This trail runs from
the Nickajack Road trail head, through LLLT property, private
property and then crosses 157 where it links to Cloudland
Canyon State Park.
We have just about finished construction on the final
section of the trail- finishing touches are being put on it
now. The trail
will continue to the "5 Points" area and then eventually run
to the area around Cloudland Canyon's entrance.
Through our partnership with
Georgia Land
Trust, we have worked with landowners to place
conservation easements on two properties adjoining Cloudland
Canyon State Park and other protected properties. Both
Easements protect mature hardwood forests and fragile bluffs
and forested areas along Bear Creek and Price Branch. This year, we will
continue our effort to work with interested landowners in and
around LLLT and Cloudland Canyon State Park to protect
more lands with conservation easements. If you are interested
in talking to me about protecting your land with a
conservation easement, please contact Katherine Eddins at
404.861.8567. | |
Thank you for taking the time to read our first
newsletter. If you have any suggestions or comments on
how we might better communicate, please feel free to contact
us: abratcher@lulalake.org.
