$25,000 CHALLENGE MATCH to Save “Old Ironsides”
We are honored to announce that our friends at Golden Isles Fund for Trees (GIFT) have generously offered the Land Trust a $25,000 Challenge Match to help support the protection of the beautiful live oak trees at 2404 Frederica Road, including the 300+ year old registered live oak “Old Ironsides” pictured here.
This challenge means that each gift from the community will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000, securing $50,000 to help the Land Trust acquire the property and protect and maintain these majestic trees in perpetuity.

Now through Friday, July 19th, we hope that you will take a hike and bike ride through Guale Preserve or the Gateway Property, go birding and kayaking at Cannon’s Point Preserve, or picnic under the oaks at Old Stables Corner. Whatever protected property you visit, we hope you’ll snag a photo of the landscape and wildlife that surround you or the people who accompany you!
The Passport to Preservation is an educational tool for elementary school-aged children who live on or visit the Georgia coast. Join us on a fun journey across St. Simons Island to learn why it is so important to preserve and protect the forests, marshlands, and streams where this barrier island’s plants and animals make their homes.
WE PARTNER WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AND THEIR PATRONS.
Pennies for Preservation is a voluntary 1% giving program in which the business community helps raise funds to preserve and protect greenspaces, wilderness areas, trails, waterways, wildlife, important habitat, and tree canopy on St. Simons Island.
