The Middle Oconee River flows north to south through Clarke County, where it’s crossed by the 10 Loop and Atlanta Highway. The Oconee River Land Trust is a Northeast Georgia nonprofit that seeks to conserve undeveloped natural areas, and it recently launched a new campaign to conserve land around this river.
Dan Crescenzo is the organization’s Executive Director, and he met WUGA’s Emma Auer on the bank of the Middle Oconee to discuss this waterway—and why he and his colleagues are seeking to conserve it.
