Banks foreclosed in Dade County and then gave it away to the Georgia Land Trust, a non=profit, conservation organization. Two banks acquired 434 acres of the failed development called The Preserve in Rising Fawn through foreclosure. The donation was made by BB&T and Farm Credit Services, according to Bobby Davenport of Georgia Land Trust. Davenport is also involved in the Lula Lake Land Trust on Lookout Mountain in Dade and Walker counties.
