I did not think Foothills would be interested in the bequest of my house, that they were only interested in large parcels. It was good to know that FLC appreciates any and all land/monetary donations. If you have something you would like to will to an organization, whose mission you identify with, then I would encourage you to do it. I was interested in doing my part to save land – preserving it is so important. You gotta have land!  –  Nancy Ann Schimmick

 


The natural world has always inspired us and in recent years we’ve seen our area in Sevier County grow tremendously. We knew for a long time we wanted to work with FLC in order to permanently preserve the natural features of our property. I would tell other landowners that with a conservation easement you still maintain control of your land and do not give up your rights. This decision has given us both peace of mind. – Bob & Kathy (with FLC Exec. Dir. Bill Clabough, pictured left)

 


In 2009, FLC received a land donation of 510 acres atop Bluff Mountain in Sevier County, Tennessee, from the estate of the late Marian Oates. Earlier that year, Foothills worked with Marian to permanently protect her property with an FLC conservation easement.
