The party, themed "Proctor Creek Clearwater Revival," honors Sally Sears as the 2015 Conservation Trailblazer. She is the executive director of the South Fork Conservancy, which supports the health and preservation of the south fork of Peachtree Creek.
The Trust for Public Land has partnered with landowners, community groups and national, state and local agencies to complete more than 3,500 land conservation projects in 47 states, protecting 2.5 million acres, according to organizers. In Georgia, the Trust for Public Land has conserved nearly 23,000 acres and has worked on conservation projects along the Atlanta Beltline and the Chattahoochee River, as well as historic sites including the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site and Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.
