Welcome to the Jefferson County Tennessee Preservation Society, an organization dedicated to safeguarding the natural beauty and agricultural heritage of Jefferson County against the pressures of development.
Help us save our beauty for the future!
Our mission
Promote transparency within our county government and to uphold the community values and atmosphere that define Jefferson County. We engage in vigilant monitoring of county governance, advocating for reforms that reflect the collective will and best interests of our citizens. Through our efforts, we aim to foster a government that is open, accountable, and responsive to the needs and concerns of its people.
Envisioning the future, we aspire to see a local government marked by openness and transparency. We work towards a day when our county commissioners, committees, boards, and mayor are fully attuned to the concerns and needs of the citizens, dedicated to preserving the unique character and natural beauty of our county. This vision drives us to be proactive, resolute, and unwavering in our efforts to ensure that Jefferson County remains a place where community values flourish and the environment is treasured.
Help us keep history from repeating itself
Other areas have seen their pristine natural beauty and invaluable agricultural lands succumb to the relentless advance of residential, commercial, and industrial development. These places serve as cautionary tales. Many residents of Jefferson County have moved here just get away from these developments. Once rich in natural habitats and agricultural tradition, the loss of green spaces, farmlands, and wildlife areas in these regions serves as a stark reminder of what is at stake when development proceeds without a balanced, considerate approach. It underscores the urgency of our mission to ensure that Jefferson County does not follow a similar path but instead remains a beacon of natural beauty and agricultural vitality.
Jefferson County Preservation Society is committed to:
- Operating in a moral, ethical, and transparent manner.
- Treating all residents of Jefferson County with respect and consideration.
- Endeavoring to be judicious, lawful, and decisive.
- Providing good stewardship for our county by maintaining community values and atmosphere.
