Good Dog of the Month: Celebrating Dogs at the Land Trust
The St. Simons Land Trust is thrilled to introduce our Good Dog of the Month initiative—a fun and engaging way to highlight our dog-friendly properties and the many visitors who enjoy them with their canine companions.
We invite visitors to bring their dogs to Land Trust properties where dogs are permitted (see below), take photos during your visit, and share them with us for a chance to be featured. Each month, one dog will be selected as our Good Dog of the Month and showcased on our social media and in Land Trust communications.
WE PARTNER WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AND THEIR PATRONS.
Pennies for Preservation is a voluntary 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.
