    Personal Information

    Dr. Bailey's favorite thing about living in north Georgia is being able to walk or to ride her bike to the Gainesville campus on the Hall County Greenway, living adjacent to the 1600 acre nature preserve in her historic Chicopee Village 1926 bungalow, interacting with her pet chickens, and being in the woods with her family and her students to appreciate nature and to focus on restoration of riparian forests in Georgia.
