Jones
Property
The Jones Property, a priority-1 status Greenway Property,
is located in a residential area on Wells Drive, south of Campbellton
Road in southwest Atlanta. This 100-foot buffer of land is partially
located within the 100-year floodplain. Although less than 1 acre
was purchased in this acquisition, the Jones property continues
to build connectivity along South Utoy Creek and contributes to
the growing number of protected stream footage in this segment of
the creek. A linear protected streamside corridor creates a more
stable habitat for plants and animals and encourages movement and
diversity of plant and wildlife species. This acquisition is also
an example of how small property owners can help preserve water
quality in their own neighborhoods.
