Where Conservation Meets Community
At Southeastern Trust for Parks and Land, we believe that protecting natural lands creates lasting benefits for people, communities, and the environment. Across the Southeast, we work to conserve special places, support environmental stewardship and science education, and create opportunities for people to explore, connect with, and enjoy the outdoors.
Our work brings together landowners, community organizations, public agencies, and individuals who share a commitment to protecting the Southeast’s natural heritage. Through conservation partnerships, grants, and generous community support, we help preserve the places that make our communities special—and ensure they remain a part of our shared future.
Together, we’re protecting the land we love and strengthening the communities that call it home.

This week, we’re highlighting the Northern Maidenhair Fern, a unique member of the ribbon-fern family that thrives in moist, acidic, and shaded soils.
As it grows, this fern spreads through creeping rhizomes, sending out branches that gradually expand into large, beautiful colonies originating from one plant. Its ability to spread this way makes it a fascinating part of the forest floor and an excellent example of how native plants establish and flourish in their ideal habitat.

Love these ferns!
Instead of focusing on a single species for this week’s “Critter of the Week,” we’re highlighting the importance of all bats to Georgia’s ecology! Georgia is home to 16 species of bat, each of which plays an important role in helping control insect populations across the state. In fact, a single bat can consume hundreds of mosquitoes in just one hour!
We’re also excited to share some great news from our community! Local scouts have recently built new bat boxes at both Campbellton Creek and Talking Rock Nature Parks. These new homes will provide valuable habitat and help support our local bat populations.
Here's to celebrating these tiny, flying mammals and the big role they play in keeping our ecosystems healthy! 🦇
