Our Membership Giveaway is happening NOW!
We have collaborated with longtime partner and award-winning photographer Benjamin Galland who has generously donated a custom 24”x36” gallery wrapped canvas art print of the saltmarsh adjacent to Spears Preserve at Harrington and Island Time coffee table book co-published with late author Jingle Davis.
One lucky Land Trust member who RENEWS or UPGRADES their membership or becomes a NEW member at the $100 annual level or higher by June 23 will have a chance to win this gorgeous aerial canvas, a recent addition to Ben’s Georgia Has a Coast photography series!
A FAMILY ADVENTURE ACROSS PROTECTED PLACES
This summer, St. Simons Land Trust Ambassadors invite families to explore protected places in a brand-new way with Trailside Discoveries! This initiative was created to encourage outdoor exploration, family adventure, and deeper connections to the beautiful, protected spaces that make St. Simons Island so special.
From June 6 – July 6, special wooden discovery discs will be hidden across select Land Trust properties. Participants who find a discovery disc may bring it to the SSLT office during business hours to redeem a prize.
2026 TREE OF THE YEAR
We are excited to launch a new community initiative that celebrates one of the most important features of St. Simons – it’s trees! Inspired by the European Tree of the Year, join us in celebrating St. Simons Island’s inaugural Tree of the Year – OLD IRONSIDES.
For more than 300 years, this live oak has been rooted in the lives of the people who have loved it, the generations who have nurtured it, and the community that has passed it daily. It’s been a part of family traditions, childhood adventures, and the island’s landscape—and now it’s protected for generations to come!
WE PARTNER WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AND THEIR PATRONS.
Pennies for Preservation is a voluntary giving program in which the business community helps raise funds to preserve and protect greenspaces, wilderness areas, trails, waterways, wildlife, important habitat, and tree canopy on St. Simons Island.
