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.

Today we're highlighting a common invasive insect in the United States: the Japanese beetle. This species of scarab beetle is capable of damaging more than 300 different plant species. It first arrived in the U.S. in the early 1900s, likely hidden within a shipment of ornamental plants imported from Japan. Since then, Japanese beetles have spread to nearly every state, feeding on the leaves, flowers, and fruit of a wide variety of plants, including birch trees, roses, hops, and grapevines.

What do you recommend to control this critter?
This week’s Critter of the Week is the Eastern Fence Lizard, a medium-sized reptile commonly found basking on tree trunks, fence posts, and rock piles throughout the eastern United States. This species is sexually dimorphic, meaning males and females have distinct appearances. Adult males are especially recognizable by the brilliant iridescent turquoise-blue to green patches on their undersides, while females and juveniles are more subtly colored, with grayish-brown bodies that provide excellent camouflage.
