Breaking News: Blount resident establishes conservation easement with Foothills Land Conservancy on 210-acre farm By Joel Davis of The Daily Times Staff Blount County resident Laverne Farmer has established a conservation easement on her 210-acre farm, fronting U.S. 321, in Townsend. Bill Clabough, executive director of the Foothills Land Conservancy in Maryville, announced the donation of the development rights to the FLC today. It is one of 11 conservation easements in Blount County that the FLC is in the process of securing. Although Farmer reserved the right to remodel and expand the two existing houses on the tract, she wants to preserve the rest of the farm in its current condition. “Basically, the rest of it will stay exactly like it is forever,” Clabough said. A conservation easement is a transfer of usage rights that restricts development on a property. As 2007 winds to a close, the conservancy is securing 25 conservation easements throughout Tennessee, 11 in Blount County alone, that will protect 4,000 acres in all.
