PEACH BUZZ: Rocker gets shout-out for forest preservation

BY RICHARD L. ELDREDGE

Amy Leavell Bransford, the "very proud daughter" of Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell, talked about her father's appearance in the current "Green Issue" of Vanity Fair to Buzz on Wednesday.

Inside the mag, the Georgia conservationist is featured in the "Soundtrack of Change" section alongside surfer rocker Jack Johnson, singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, Jane's Addiction co-founder Perry Ferrell, bluesman Keb' Mo', singer-songwriter Alanis Morrisette, Eurythmic Dave Stewart and guitarist-singer Bonnie Raitt. The green-minded musicians were shot by noted celebrity shutterbug Mark Seliger.

"You can go electric and still be green --- as these rockers can attest," Vanity Fair praises. Of Leavell, the mag writes: "Rock snobs like to name-drop him as the consummate Southern rock session pro, a man who's played with the Allman Brothers and Black Crowes, not to mention the Rolling Stones --- but who knew he was also a dedicated campaigner for sustainable forestry?

"Moonlighting as the noble proprietor of the Charlane Plantation, in his native Georgia, he has twice been named that state's Tree Forester of the Year."

In addition, Leavell Bransford tells Buzz: "Chuck and Rose Lane Leavell have recently committed to a conservation easement on 300 acres of their own family forests, Charlane Plantation, thus encouraging other like-minded environmentalists to do the same."

Here's hoping that, armed with his new status, Leavell can now keep tour mate Keith Richards out of those coconut trees in Fiji . . .
