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.

Did you know that Georgia has a native cactus? Meet the Eastern Prickly Pear, a hardy species with the largest range of any cactus in the United States. It can be found from New Mexico to Florida and as far north as Ontario, Canada!
This resilient plant survives cold winters thanks to special compounds in its flattened stems, or “pads,” that help protect its cells from freezing temperatures. During early summer, the cactus produces beautiful yellow flowers with vivid orange to red centers, creating a colorful display that stands out in the landscape.
The specimen pictured below was spotted at our Burke County Nature Park, where you can find many more Eastern Prickly Pears, along with a variety of other incredible native species. Come visit and see what you can discover!

One of Georgia's earliest spring arrivals, this week’s “Feathered Find”, the Louisiana Waterthrush, is not actually a species of thrush, but a warbler with rather unassuming plumage. These small birds are often identified by their tendency to stick by water-edges, as well as their frequent tail-bobbing, a behavior thought to scare off predators or flush small insects to feed on.
