Southern Conservation Trust is an environmental services organization established in 1993 that focuses on protecting greenspace, conserving forests, safeguarding rivers, and supporting wildlife across multiple states. The nonprofit land trust works with landowners to permanently protect ecological, agricultural, scenic, or historic qualities, often through conservation easements, and manages a portfolio of preserves and public nature areas. Based in Fayetteville, Georgia, the Trust operates in Georgia and 10 other states, and maintains more than 57,000 acres under protection, including several donated preserves in Georgia. Its activities encompass environmental education and expanding access to nature within local communities, with ongoing initiatives such as partnerships to preserve native orchids and to develop greenspace through collaboration with public entities and corporate partners. The organization serves landowners seeking long-term conservation outcomes and communities seeking preserved natural spaces and outdoor recreation opportunities.
