At the same time, his work at Charlane Plantation, the award winning tree farm that he and his wife, Rose Lane, have created near Macon, Georgia, has earned Leavell a fast growing reputation as one of our country's foremost conservationists. Twice named Outstanding Tree Farmer for Georgia, and National Outstanding Tree Farmer in l999, he has also been recognized by the National Arbor Day Foundation, the Georgia Conservancy, and many other conservation organizations.

Review:

"I've known Chuck Leavell for many years and have long respected his musical talents. As a fellow tree farmer I'm even more impressed by his work in conservation and forestry. In "Forever Green he paints an honest portrait of America's forests, and makes a powerful case for the careful management of one of our most precious natural resources."
