Land for Conservation and Community

Athens Land Trust preserves, protects, and strengthens the fabric of the community through education and the stewardship of land for purposes of affordable housing, conservation, agriculture, and economic development.

The West Broad Farmers Market’s Juneteenth Celebration is a day of reflection, but also a day to celebrate African American freedom, achievement, and culture! Join us for an exciting lineup of activities, music, and family fun at the 2023 Juneteenth Celebration!

The West Broad Farmers Market is set to return to hosting a weekly farmers market, every Saturday from April 1st through December 16th! Join us from 11 AM to 2 PM at 300 S. Rocksprings Street to shop for fresh produce, baked goods, prepared foods, arts and crafts, fresh-cut flowers, meat and dairy products, and more!

We have received one of the inaugural Drawdown Georgia Climate Solutions & Equity Grants in support of efforts that advance climate solutions and prioritize equity in Georgia!
