2.05.09 Family Pride
Some years ago the Martin family joined with other families to protect a piece of Heaven in the North Georgia Mountains, complete with a clear rushing trout stream. In 2006 their dream of placing the land under permanent protection became a reality as they worked with Southeast Regional Land Conservancy. One of the biggest joys of land trust work can be going back each year for monitoring visits with owners who truly care about the land, as is the case each time we visit the Martins. Read More
1.31.09 New Land Protection for 2008 In 2008 the Southeast Regional Land Conservancy was pleased to double the number of acres under protection by adding four new projects totaling 3,492 acres. An additional 127 acres were also added to increase two existing projects. The projects are well-distributed across a variety of ecosystems, with one in the North Carolina Mountains, one in the Tennessee Ridge & Valley, one in the South Carolina Coastal Plain, one in the Georgia Piedmont, and one in the Georgia Coastal Plain. That brings SERLC’s total conservation land area to 6,254 acres. Read More

The Southeast Regional Land Conservancy, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to protecting our natural resources through conservation easements. Since our founding in 2002, we have protected over six thousand acres in projects from the Alabama Ridge & Valley to coastal and piedmont land to the high mountains of the Carolinas. Through these easements we have protected important wetlands, mountain coves and ridges, piedmont forests, stream banks, mountain views, and open spaces.
The Southeast Regional Land Conservancy’s mission is to work with landowners to protect a conservation legacy for the future.
 Much work remains to be done. We are at an important gateway in time for protecting the quality of life for future generations. Every year an astounding 2,200,000 acres of land (USDA Resource Conservation Service data during 1997 - 2001) are lost to development. Once open space is gone, it’s gone. We invite all who care about the future of our region to help us protect our natural resources for future generations.
