Athens Land Trust conserves, empowers, & sustains communities through responsible and visionary land use.
The 2020 Cultivating Community dinner will be on March 1st at 6:00 PM at The National. This is a wonderful opportunity to share an amazing meal with friends while benefitting the Young Urban Farmers program.
The Athens Land Trust Farm-Share program provides a convenient way of obtaining fresh, high quality, locally grown and produced foods. We select the best in-season produce, pack it into a box and have it available for pick-up or workplace delivery.
We are excited to host this series of workshops designed to help budding entrepreneurs develop their business and for existing business owners to grow their businesses. Our goal is to have registrants attend every workshop to take full advantage of this amazing FREE offering, as well as to develop a written business plan for their business.

With land that is community-owned and driven by community interests, our goal is to create healthy communities and forge partnerships to effect positive change across Athens, Georgia.
What is a Land Trust?
courtesy of National Community Land Trust Network
Athens Land Trust is a Community Land Trust (CLT). “CLTs are nonprofit organizations—governed by a board of CLT residents, community residents and public representatives—that provide lasting community assets and permanently affordable housing opportunities for families and communities.
CLTs develop rural and urban agriculture projects, commercial spaces to serve local communities, affordable rental and cooperative housing projects, and conserve land or urban green spaces.
However, the heart of their work is the creation homes that remain permanently affordable, providing successful homeownership opportunities for generations of lower income families.”
