Southern Conservation Trust is a community land trust founded in 1993 by Fayette County residents eager to preserve greenspace as our community develops. The Trust protects farms and forests, environmentally sensitive land, valuable wildlife habitat and scenic greenspace in the fast growing counties south of metro Atlanta. Landowners donate property to us, which we may develop and manage as public preserves.

Morgan Grove is the Trust’s newest nature area. Located near the Flint River in east Fayette County, the land was donated to the Trust in 2006 by Brent Scarbrough and Buford Chandler. The serene 60 acres of open meadow, woodlands, creeks and wetlands form a natural backdrop for the Morgan Grove Nature Area. Visitors experience the lush beauty though a series of nature trails, a wetland and a boardwalk. Picnic tables and benches give nature lovers the chance to comfortably eat and quietly observe the surrounding landscape.

Bread is baked in-house everyday and served fresh. Meat and veggies are sliced fresh in-house everyday. The turkey is real turkey, the roast beef is real roast beef – no additives, no vegetable-based fillers, no fake stuff. Nothing is delivered pre-sliced.

Piedmont Fayette Hospital’s new Wound & Hyperbaric Center will provide a variety of services including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, debridement, compression therapy, negative pressure and specialty wound dressing.   Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves exposing the body to 100 percent oxygen at a pressure that is greater than what one would normally experience. Wounds need oxygen to heal properly, and exposing a wound to 100 percent oxygen can, in many cases, speed the healing process.

In addition to offering wound care services, the Wound and Hyperbaric Center will serve as a resource for specialty beds, cushions, diabetic footwear, supplies and diabetes education.

AT&T Invests in Tomorrow’s Workforce

AT&T’S SOCIALLY INNOVATIVE “ASPIRE”
AIMS TO INCREASE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES, BOOST WORKPLACE READINESS

As access to skilled workers becomes increasingly vital to the U.S. economy, AT&T is launching a quarter-billion-dollar campaign to help more students graduate from high school ready for careers and college, and to ensure the country is better prepared to meet global competition.

AT&T Aspire, already among the most significant U.S. corporate educational initiatives with more than $100 million invested since 2008, will tackle high school success and college/career readiness for students at-risk of dropping out of high school through a much larger, “socially innovative” approach. Social innovation goes beyond traditional philanthropy – which typically involves only charitable giving – to also engage people and technology to bring different approaches, new solutions and added resources to challenging social problems.  The Aspire effort already has impacted more than one million U.S. high school students, helping them prepare for success in the workplace and college.

AT&T Aspire will focus on:

Technology – The company will, for example, sponsor challenges or contests for mobile application developers to create cutting-edge solutions to complex problems in our educational system.
People – Because AT&T employees have asked for more opportunities to engage with students and contribute to their success, AT&T will launch the Aspire Mentoring Academy later this year.  A major goal is to inspire more AT&T customers, companies and stakeholders to step up to the challenge of addressing the education crisis.
Communities – To deepen the financial commitment to local education-focused groups that deliver results, especially groups that embrace social innovation, focus on 21st-century skills, or focus on STEM disciplines for students in underserved communities.

Please feel free to forward this information to colleagues or others in your organization who might be able to leverage the funding or volunteer mentoring that the program is offering.
