The EPA is in the final phases of concluding their investigation into violations of the clean water act by the wetland developer at Emma Lane.

Blue Heron Preserve continues to negotiate on behalf of the neighborhood to acquire this   beautiful piece of property. The City of Atlanta has approved a $200,000 commitment of the Governor's greenspace money towards             acquisition.  A solution is near and positive to save and restore this incredible environmental ecosystem.

Many thanks to everyone who has made a    monetary donation towards acquisition/restoration of this important property and to the North Buckhead Civic Association for their on going commitment to saving this area for all  of us.
