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 organization has played a significant role in conserving notable sites, including Camp Montvale and various wildlife management areas, while also providing landowners with options to preserve their properties through conservation easement agreements.

The resolution acknowledges the leadership and efforts of FLC's board and staff, particularly highlighting the contributions of William "Bill" Clabough and founding member Gail Harris. It also notes FLC's recent acquisition of the Southeast Regional Land Conservancy, which expanded its conservation partnerships and preserved additional acres. 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 future endeavors.
