Enhancing and preserving Lumpkin County's golden greenspace
The mission of the Yahoola Trails Conservancy is
To work with partners to advocate for the responsible development, enhancement and preservation of sustainable trail systems and greenways across Lumpkin County, and to assist public land managers and private land owners in the design, creation and maintenance of such valued places for the current and future citizens of Dahlonega - Lumpkin County, Georgia, and its visitors.
We believe this area’s greenspace is golden, and the trails offer us all some extraordinary benefits:
• Community trails promote healthy living. They increase our physical activity and opportunities for social contact.
• In an age when people, especially children, are increasingly disconnected from the natural world, the trails provide opportunities for meaningful interactions with nature.
• The trails provide valuable habitats that benefit diverse plant and wildlife populations.
• Research shows that trails create jobs, enhance property values, expand and attract businesses, increase tax revenues, and decrease local government expenditures.
• Trail users are the kind of beneficial visitors Dahlonegans want to attract to our community.
