Scott Petersen points out lichen plants growing on an old tree branch as he guides a walking tour of the old Atlanta Prison Farm east of Atlanta. Joe Peery and Scott Petersen are eager to preserve the tract of about 350 tangled acres close to Intrenchment Creek. Originally part of former Atlanta Mayor James Key's plantation that was turned into a Federal prison farm, it was sold to the City of Atlanta on the 1930s. The city used it as a working prison farm until the 1950s. (PHOTO BY PHIL SKINNER/SPECIAL)
