Join attendees for a tour and development talk of the Thomas Farm Preserve. The City of Watkinsville is in the process of preserving the largest parcel of undeveloped land in the city, the 100-acre Thomas family farm. The Thomas property, located just inside the city limits along Simonton Bridge Road, includes more than 1/3 of a mile of frontage along Calls Creek, more than 60 acres of open pasture, 33 acres of woodlands, two ponds comprising approximately five acres, and one of Oconee County’s most iconic views.

The new park will be equal to more than 4.5 percent of the entire land area of Watkinsville, and more than doubles the city’s usable greenspace while preserving critical acres of wetlands designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.  

Carpooling is available. Attendees will be leaving from the Jackson Street Building at 8:30 a.m.
