About the Southeast Region

Faced with rapid loss of environmental and land resources in the fastest developing region of the country, concerned citizens have organized land trusts across much of the Southeastern U.S. and have nearly doubled the pace of land conservation this decade. 

Citizens of the region have responded to these threats in part by establishing land trusts to save many cherished but vulnerable natural places and community green spaces. Most of the 150 active land trusts working across the Southeast are relatively young, but dedicated to saving land and water resources fundamental to the survival of the South’s natural and cultural heritage—its “green legacy.” Learn more about the Southeast.

The Land Trust Alliance is committed to helping land trusts across the Southeast increase their pace of land conservation, enhance their quality of performance and program strength, and assure permanence of their organizations and the lands they protect.
