The city of Atlanta has purchased land in Buckhead to preserve a 30-acre wooded forest. This decision comes after the passing of renowned artist and photographer Lucinda Bunnen in 2022, who left behind a 7,000 square foot home on the property. The city's move to protect the land is a departure from typical development patterns in the area, where homes are often sold and replaced with new construction.

Neighborhood President Sally Riker noted that this usually involves cutting down trees and building larger homes. Further details about the city's plans for the preserved land are available from local news sources.
