WHO WE ARE

 

The St. Simons Land Trust is dedicated to preserving St. Simons’ natural and scenic character, as well as enhancing the quality of life of the island community for present and future generations.

We are a non-profit organization directly involved in protecting the island’s important land resources such as wetlands, maritime forests, and wildlife habitats.  Since we began in 2000, we have preserved 145 acres of property on St. Simons Island, Georgia.  This has been accomplished by working with caring landowners, county government and our dedicated membership of almost 3,000 individuals to protect the island’s fragile environment.

OUR NEWEST PROJECT: FREDERICA PARK

Frederica Park, a new 20-acre park planned for Lawrence Road on the north end of the island, will feature a botanical trail and a playfield complex for soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, rugby and other field sports.  Most of the park will be devoted to the botanical trail, where native plant species will be re-introduced to land that had been used for timber farming for many years.  More
