The Southeast Regional Land Conservancy now protects a total of 27 projects with cumulative acreage of 6,254 acres. Of the 27 cumulative projects, six are in Alabama, ten in Georgia, nine in North Carolina, one in South Carolina, and one in Tennessee. A number of projects include several easements that have been added in phases. In 2008 we added four projects totaling 3,492 acres, plus giving 127 additional acres of protection to 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.

Easement land types have been divided into eleven classifications categories (please see the pie chart also). Acreages given below are approximate and have not been digitized. Ridge and Valley, forested land: 418 acres; Ridge and Valley, open land: 124 acres; Mountain, forested land: 1,297 acres; Mountain, open land: 16 acres; Stream corridor: 83+ acres (actually a greater amount but often included within forested or open land); Piedmont, forested land: 1013 acres; Piedmont, open land: 556 acres; Coastal, open land: 541 acres; Coastal, forested land: 1553 acres; Wetlands: 650 acres; Open water: 4+ acres;

Between 2007 & 2008, the percentage of total land area by land type changed somewhat. Land types increasing included: wetlands, Coastal forested land, Ridge & Valley forested land, and Piedmont forested land. Decreasing types included Piedmont open land, plus Mountain open and forested land.
