Senate Joint Resolution 226, sponsored by McNally, honors the Foothills Land Conservancy (FLC) as it celebrates its fortieth anniversary in 2025. Established in 1985, FLC is a regional land trust dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the Southern Appalachian region's lands and environment. Over the years, FLC has successfully preserved more than 200,000 acres through 500 conservation projects across Tennessee and six surrounding states. The resolution highlights the significant contributions of FLC's leadership, particularly William "Bill" Clabough, and the organization's partnerships with landowners to maintain natural landscapes and working farms through conservation easement agreements.

The resolution also acknowledges FLC's various successful conservation initiatives, including the preservation of notable sites such as Camp Montvale and the Kyker Bottoms Wildlife Refuge. It emphasizes the organization's commitment to creating a permanent foundation for land acquisition and stewardship, as well as its recent collaboration with the Southeast Regional Land Conservancy, which expanded its conservation efforts. The resolution concludes by commending FLC for its dedication to improving the quality of life in Tennessee and wishing the organization continued success in its mission.
