We want our children to live healthy, rural lives!
Current Priorities
Rural preservation is possible only if we each take some time to focus and do our part. As we move into 2024, GPRA will continue to inform and educate community members about how we can personally work to preserve Greater Green Pond’s rural and agricultural setting.
During our first 12 months of operation, we have focused on educating community residents and landowners about topics of community interest:
-
County zoning, city annexations, and infrastructure projects that can impact rural preservation
-
Various legal vehicles to protect and preserve rural and agricultural land
-
Wildlife habitats
-
Community history and landmarks
Based on community feedback, we will continue to prioritize these topics in 2024.

We will be organizing and providing regular educational events—some live, some live-streamed and recorded. Please send suggested topics and resources to info@GreenpondRuralAlliance.org
