Here's a sampling of the natural treasures we've helped preserve over the years.

Sehoy and Enon PLantations, Bullock COunty

This 17,959-acre complex of exemplary fire-maintained open pine grassland is managed as the finest bobwhite quail habitat in Alabama. It also supports one of Alabama’s two remaining populations of endangered red-cockaded woodpeckers on non-federal lands, and Alabama’s only remaining population of the endangered American chaffseed (Schwalbea americana). Funding to manage these species was secured by AFLT from government and private sources. Originally placed under easement by the same owner in 2002 (Sehoy) and 2003 (Enon), it is now held by six different landowners with common objectives. 

Meadowbank, Monroe County

One of many large protected tracts along the Alabama River, this historic 3,927-acre plantation was once owned by Alabama’s first Speaker of the House, John Dellet. It was placed under conservation easement in 2007 by the current owner, Senator Ann Bedsole, who was instrumental in establishing the AFLT and continues to be a supporter. An aesthetically pleasing mix of farm and forest, views of the property are enjoyed daily by motorists traveling US Highway 84 between old Claiborne and Gosport.

Hooks Lake, Washington County

At the confluence of the Tombigbee and Alabama rivers, the Hooks Lake conservation easement actually spans three counties: Washington, Clarke, and Baldwin. The property is home to a diversity of wildlife including game animals, waterfowl, migrant songbirds, and aquatic reptiles such as alligator snapping turtles. This easement (done in three phases) protects over 10,000 acres of both swamp and upland forests, making it the largest conservation easement in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta.
