Landowners Glenn & Kati Savage with FLC Biologist, Shelby Lyn Sanders

Glenn and Kati Savage are two of FLC’s newest friends and partners in land conservation! They recently placed a conservation easement on their 131 acre property in Jefferson County, TN. The property is affectionately named Dancing Winds Wildlife Sanctuary and Arboretum, which is “dedicated to the preservation and protection of God’s glorious creations—plants and animals.” Glenn has cultivated over 400 different types of trees which are planted across the property and lovingly tends to his home garden, which has a variety of beautiful and unique flowers.

The Savages have several fields planted in corn/grain sorghum as well as a variety of oaks and other mast-producing trees to supplement the diet of the countless white-tailed deer and turkeys that call their property home. Glenn & Kati also have four different species of squirrels on the property as well, including flying squirrels!  They are also avid birdwatchers and provide many types of feeders for their winged backyard visitors. The Savages say that protecting their beloved property and knowing that it will forever remain a safe haven for wildlife has given them peace of mind, and Glenn hopes in the future to convince some of his neighbors to partner with FLC to protect their land, too.
