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.

This week’s “Critter of the Week” is the fascinating Horned Passalus Beetle, also known as the Bess Beetle! 🪲
Often found in rotting logs and decaying wood, these glossy black beetles play an important role in the ecosystem by helping break down dead wood and return nutrients to the soil. Their strong jaws allow them to chew through tough, decaying timber that many other insects can’t digest.
Horned Passalus Beetles are also known for something pretty unusual, they’re social insects! Adults live together in groups within decaying logs and work together to care for their young.

Did you know that some of our most important habitats are only here for a short time? Ephemeral wetlands are seasonal wetlands that fill with water during periods of rain and gradually dry as the seasons change.
These temporary wetlands offer critical breeding and feeding grounds for amphibians, insects, wading birds, and other wildlife. Because they are often isolated from permanent streams and ponds, they can provide especially important habitat for species that depend on temporary pools to reproduce while limiting the presence of fish and other predators.
At the Southeastern Trust, we’re proud to help protect the diverse habitats that make our parks valuable refuges for wildlife, including wetlands that may only appear for part of the year at parks including Aerotropolis Nature Park.
