Since 2013, the nonprofit organization FOLC has collaborated with Sandy Springs to secure additional funding, encourage community involvement, and garner volunteer support to help with managing Lost Corner Preserve, which covers 24 acres. These efforts have yielded positive results, including grant awards from organizations such as the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation District, Dunwoody Women’s Club, and the Alyssum Garden Club.
Official city documents state:
“FOLC have also contributed leadership and technical guidance to community projects ranging from bee colonization, corporate volunteer days and numerous BSA Eagle Scout projects to benefit the local environment.”
FOLC works hand in hand with the city's Recreation and Parks Department, providing additional support and financial resources to maintain the grounds and the cottage, enhance recreational programs, fundraise for physical improvements and upgrades, strengthen communication outreach and interactions with the locals, and enrich educational programming at the preserve. Brochure printing could be used to share the plans that developers have for the future.
Through the continued collaboration between Sandy Springs and FOLC, the Lost Corner Preserve can thrive as a cherished community space, offering valuable recreational, educational, and environmental experiences for residents and visitors alike.
