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.
Featured Property
Canongate Nature Park
Upon acquiring this property, STPAL filed a perpetual conservation deed restriction that requires public access and use as a park. The property contains a small intermittent headwater branch that flows into Persimmon Creek, draining into a subdivision pond, and then becomes part of the Upper Flint River watershed.

At the Southeastern Trust, we’re working across multiple parks and preserves to restore native meadow habitats, an effort that provides important benefits for both wildlife and people. By reintroducing meadows, we’re increasing native plant and pollinator diversity, improving water quality by filtering pollutants, and creating beautiful scenic landscapes for guests to enjoy.
Native meadows are declining due to factors such as the loss of natural fire, invasive species, and ecological succession. By restoring these important habitats, we’re helping bring back a vital ecosystem and providing food, shelter, and resources for the many species that depend on meadows to thrive.

This week's Invasive Species Highlight is the infamous kudzu vine, often called "The Vine That Ate the South." Introduced to the United States in the late 1800s as an ornamental plant, kudzu was later promoted for livestock forage and erosion control, accelerating its spread.
Thriving in disturbed habitats, kudzu can grow up to 60 cm (2 feet) per day during the growing season. It climbs over trees, shrubs, power lines, and buildings, forming dense mats that block sunlight and eventually kill the vegetation beneath them. By smothering forests and reshaping entire landscapes, kudzu reduces biodiversity and destroys critical wildlife habitat.
Kudzu's rapid spread is a powerful reminder of how introduced species can profoundly alter ecosystems when they escape their natural controls.

Gilmer county has more than its share. There’s very little evident attempt to control it. I’m fighting encroachment from utility right of way. EMC says its phone company’s responsibility. Phone company says it’s EMC’s.
