Back in June, the GADC Annual Meeting attendees wrote personal pledges to forge a legacy for Greenville County and "planted" them beneath a live oak, generously donated by Heritage Landcare.

That same tree has found its permanent home at Conestee Nature Preserve. It is a living symbol of 25 years of economic growth and the community commitment that will carry Greenville County into its next chapter.

Just as this oak will grow stronger with time, so will the roots our community has planted together. Next time you're at Conestee, stop by and see it for yourself!
