About us
Elevating nature through exceptional stewardship. Southern Conservation Trust is a land trust founded in 1993 to preserve greenspace as our community develops. The Trust protects greenspace, conserves forests, safeguards rivers, shelters wildlife, provides environmental education, and ensures that everyone has equal access to nature in our own communities. We currently conserve and protect more than 57,000 acres across 11 states including Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Texas, and Colorado. The Trust works with landowners who wish to permanently protect the ecological, agricultural, scenic or historic qualities of their land. Participating landowners may be eligible to receive significant tax benefits for donating land to the Trust or permanently protecting it from development with a conservation easement. The Trust owns, manages and protects over 57,261 acres, including four donated preserves throughout the state of Georgia. We manage eight public nature areas in Fayette County: Flat Creek Nature Area and Somerby Woods Nature Area in Peachtree City, the Line Creek Nature Area on the border of Fayette and Coweta counties, Sams Lake Bird Sanctuary south of Fayetteville, Morgan Grove south Fayette County, Nesmith Preserve at Starr's Mill High School, The Ridge Nature Area in Fayetteville, and Wildcat Woods behind Whitewater High School.

Our education team had an amazing time with Oak Grove Elementary, where we introduced 80 participants to the fascinating world of insects and decomposers! Through this fun and interactive program, students learned about arthropods, invertebrates, and their essential role in the food chain. From compost piles to pollinator gardens, they discovered how these tiny creatures help break down nutrients and support ecosystems. #FieldTrip #NatureCenter #EnvironmentalEducation

Join us on the second Saturday of each month from 10am - 1pm for our Community Volunteer Days! In October, we will be cleaning and organizing our "garden classroom". This is an outdoor teaching space that we want to utilize for future educational programs. The space has become a bit of a storage area, so we will be going through everything to determine what can be reorganized, what can be donated, and what can be recycled. Help us with this instant gratification project to improve educational opportunities for our community! Plus, if the farm garden is doing well the volunteers might be able to take home some fresh produce, or maybe even some extra plants Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eqi8nddR

This class is dedicated to our favorite flying mammal! Let’s celebrate Bat Month as we discuss bat myths and realities. There will be LIVE bats at this event courtesy of our sponsor for the event, Bear Creek Nature Center! This class will include a batty costume contest with prizes to get us in the mood for Halloween! Parking is at the Fayette County Library in the back left of the parking lot. There is a flag that marks the entry to the short trail that will lead you up to the nature center.

Thank you so much SOLID UAVS LLC for being a part of The Vince Rossetti Charity Golf Classic! The drones definitely gave the event a unique touch, and we're grateful for your support in raising funds!
SOLID UAVS LLC was proud to be one of the sponsors at The Vince Rossetti Charity Golf Classic, benefitting the Southern Conservation Trust. We were excited to provide aerial media coverage of the event and help raise funds with the Precision Golf Ball Drop! We had a great time showcasing our drone fleet and cutting-edge connectivity solutions, giving participants a closer look at the technology that’s shaping the future of aerial operations. It was an incredible day spent supporting a meaningful cause, and we’re grateful to have been part of it! Congrats to Roch deGolian of DeGolian Realty for acing the Precision Golf Ball Drop!
