Upcountry Oyster Roast

The Upcountry Oyster Roast began in 2012 as a spring celebration commemorating conservation achievements from the past year and raising funds to support future land conservation and farmer outreach efforts. This year, the Upcountry Oyster Roast is a symbol of hope for the work to come and a chance for the Athens community to support our efforts moving forward.
