Environmental law is very visible, extremely complicated and ever changing.  Court decisions, the General Assembly and the environmental regulatory agencies— state and federal—provide new challenges regularly in keeping abreast of the latest developments.  In addition to traditional environmental law components, our blog will include information and news on so-called Green building, LEED accreditation and sustainability in order to explore the transition as Green building develops into a way of life.  As environmental law grows and changes, we hope interested persons will follow our blog for insight and information on these new and important issues.

The preservation of open spaces and historic sites is critical to our well-being.  In Tennessee, one of the best tools available to preserve our open spaces and our historic identity is a conservation easement.

Our blog seeks to stir up dialogue about the use of this single great tool which can be employed by private citizens and governmental entities alike to ensure that future generations will forever understand the beauty and history of this wonderful State.
