Conservancy presents Rolling Stones’ Leavell for night of music, education
The Madison-Morgan Conservancy is thrilled to invite the public for “An Evening with Chuck Leavell.” The legendary musician and dedicated conservationist will perform at the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center Auditorium following the Conservancy’s Annual Membership Supper and first-ever Conservation/Preservation Awards on Sept. 13, 2025. The fundraising event will support the Conservancy’s efforts to thwart sprawl by protecting a critical mass of land for future generations.
Leavell, currently the music director for the Rolling Stones, has played with legends like the Allman Brothers Band, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, and John Mayer. Leavell is also celebrated for his commitment to land conservation: he and his wife, Rose Lane, have permanently protected hundreds of acres of their family farm, Charlane Plantation, in Twiggs County, Georgia through conservation easements.
The Conservancy’s Annual Membership Supper and first-ever Preservation/Conservation Awards will be held in the Cultural Center Hall on Foster at 5 p.m. and will be followed by “An Evening with Chuck Leavell” at 8 p.m. in the Auditorium (doors open at 7 p.m.). Leavell’s presentation will consist of an approximately 30-minute edited version of the documentary, “Chuck Leavell: The Tree Man,” followed by a stage performance including stories and songs, moderated by Stan DeJarnett of the Atlanta Seventeen. Tickets for the Supper and performance are on sale now. Limited sponsorship opportunities are also available.
“We are so honored Chuck Leavell will join us for this once-in-a-lifetime event and are extremely grateful for his support of our effort to grow a regional land trust. He not only understands the importance of conservation organizations like the Conservancy, but he can convey to people through music and his own actions why conserving our land is so important,” said Christine Watts, executive director of the Madison-Morgan Conservancy.
“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the Conservancy’s 25th anniversary, and to do it in Madison’s crown jewel, the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center, is just a dream come true.”

Membership Supper — 250 tickets available
