Our Project Map

Southeastern Trust for Parks and Land makes use of natural land to foster natural land conservation; environmental stewardship; science education and research; and public recreation for the benefit of individuals and communities.

As our name indicates we are an active resource in land preservation and active usage spreading across the southeastern United States. We are a non-profit organization that relies on public support in the form of conservation endowment fees, privately and publicly funded grants, and financial contributions from individuals and community groups. We engage in relationships with other non-profit community groups to further the impact of our efforts.

Southeastern Trust for Parks and Land (SE Trust), a non-profit which acquires and stewards land for conservation, recreation, and community, is proud to announce the acquisition of Seed Lake Nature Preserve in Rabun County, Georgia. The preserve shares boundaries with Seed Lake and Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. SE Trust will perpetually protect and care for this beautiful mountain forestland. It will always be natural land that is available for public use for the quiet enjoyment of nature. 

This 63-acre property was initially acquired and conserved in by Southeast Land Preservation Trust ( www.slpt.org ). SLPT protected and cared for the site for many years. In 2024 the boards of directors for Southeast Land Preservation Trust and SE Trust each agreed that Seed Lake Nature Preserve would benefit from inclusion in SE Trust’s nature preserve program and a transfer of ownership occurred in August 2024.

“We are grateful for Southeast Land Preservation Trust’s foresight in acquiring this land and we are honored to be entrusted to protect and steward it” said Bill Jones, Executive Director, SE Trust. “This nature preserve is a pristine example of Georgia mountain land and will just get prettier as it is perpetually allowed to remain natural.”
