Forsyth Soil & Water Conservation District’s:
Conservation Connection UPDATE Fall 2004
Congratulations to the Blakley’s
The Forsyth Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors and staff would like to extend a much deserved congratulations to Johnny and Robin Blakley of Buffalo Creek Farm. As the winners of this award, the Supervisors and staff have recognized the hard work and dedication the Blakley’s have made to the conservation efforts on their farm. The Buffalo Creek Farm raises various goat, sheep, and cattle varieties used primarily for meat by ethnic groups desiring their traditional meat species. With this diverse animal population comes the need for equally diverse management on the farm, in regards to pasture use, watering and shelter needs. The Blakley’s through experimentation, innovation and hard work have made the farm productive while protecting nearby Buffalo Creek and its supporting streams on their property. Again, good job and keep up the excellent conservation efforts!
