Pinelog wildlife management area is located primarily in northern Bartow county Ga. It is a privately owned, 14,134 acre tract that has been leased and used as a wildlife management area by the Georgia Department Of Natural Resources for many years. News has broken that this 14,134 acre tract of land has been put on the public market for sale causing serious widespread concern. While many Bartow county locals fear the potential industrial boom in their backyards. Many more, widespread throughout the state are concerned about the loss of history and natural habitat that development of this property would bring. From the pre civil war iron furnaces, the Native American stone ruins, the wildflowers and the native animals, to the springs and creeks that are plentiful. This land is rich in history and wildlife, and it undoubtedly deserves to be preserved. While already providing opportunities for things such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, hunting, fishing and camping, there is potential for so much more. I hope that this petition will help to encourage the State of Georgia and the Department Of Natural Resources to purchase and preserve this land, because we cannot afford to lose it.
