Perdue signs conservation bill

A bill to conserve Georgia's forests now has the Governor's signature. Governor Sonny Perdue says the Georgia Forest Land Protection Act of 2008 allows property owners to receive tax benefits of putting land into a conservation covenant. Perdue says this allows people to keep their land without bearing unfair property taxes.
