Spring 2012 - St. Simons Land Trust

ST. SIMONS LAND TRUST
PRESERVING THE NATURAL AND SCENIC CHARACTER OF OUR ISLAND
spring 2012
Skilled Hands Preface Big Plans for Cannon’s Point
The St. Simons Land Trust’s vision for Cannon’s Point is to acquire and set aside, in perpetuity, all of its 600 acres as a quasiwilderness preserve, open to the public, offering passive recreation and low-impact educational and historic interpretive programs
for visitors.
Among the proposed, low-impact recreational opportunities at Cannon’s Point will be a 2-mile trail through the site’s maritime
forest_a delight for hikers, naturalists and birders. To ensure that the planned trail does not impact any areas containing buried
artifacts from Cannon’s Point’s rich history, a team of researchers _led by Dr. Nick Honercamp, an archaeologist from UTChattanooga and his wife Norma Harris, an archaeologist from the University of West Florida_recently began preliminary
shovel-testing (also known as “ground-truthing”) along the trail’s route. The group of 25 persons, including college students,
grad students and volunteers, carefully performed the work along the proposed trail route. At designated intervals, narrow
30-cubic centimeter holes were dug using hand shovels. The excavated material was then sifted through a wire-mesh
screen, exposing larger items for closer examination.
According to Susan Shipman, a Land Trust Board member and Chair of the Cannon’s Point Conservation Task Force,
finding items such as pottery sherds, bones or other artifacts along the trail can mean moving the proposed route to protect areas
of value. “The Land Trust is committed to a very holistic approach to enjoying Cannon’s Point once it is acquired. Everything we
are doing places the highest priority on preserving its rare natural, historic and cultural assets,” said Shipman.
Small, yet important. A sample of the many artifacts revealed during the recent shovel-testing at Cannon’s Point. All will
undergo greater examination by archaeologists.
Cannon’s Point Fundraising Update:
According to Ben Slade, Executive Director of the St. Simons Land Trust, $19.8 million of the $25 million needed to acquire Cannon’s Point has been
received or pledged from individuals, foundations and challenge grants. “The Land Trust and campaign committee co-chaired by Bill Jones III
and Davis Love III, is working diligently to reach our goal of completing the acquisition of Cannon’s Point by Fall of 2012,” Slade said.
A complete report of the Cannon’s Point campaign, including recognition of all those who donated to the project, will be published
upon reaching the funding goal–anticipated for Fall, 2012.
ST. SIMONS LAND TRUST SERVES AS HOST
Land Trust Alliance Holds 2012 Land
Conservation Conference on St. Simons
With the St. Simons Land Trust as host, the Land Trust Alliance
presented the national organization’s 2012 Southeast Land
Conservation Conference at the Sea Palms Resort on March 14-16. The
Land Trust Alliance, headquartered in Washington, DC, promotes
voluntary private land conservation to benefit communities and natural
systems, and is the national strategist and representative of more than
1,700 land trusts across America, including the St. Simons Land Trust.
This was the first time that the regional Conference, attended by
representatives from more than fifty land trusts from twenty states, has
been held on St. Simons Island. The over 200 attendees included staff
and board members from land trusts who participated in the event’s
two days of intense learning and networking, including seminars,
workshops, keynote sessions and roundtable discussions. Workshops
delved into key areas of need and interest to land trust organizations,
including community relationships and partnerships, financing,
fundraising, communications, accreditation, tax incentives for
landowners and best practices. The Conference keynote speaker was
Rand Wentworth, President of the Land Trust Alliance.
“We are proud to have served as local host for this vitally important
regional Conference and we are proud to be a member of the Land
Trust Alliance,” said Chuck Cansler, Board Chairman of the St. Simons
Land Trust. “While land trusts in regions across the nation each face
unique challenges and issues in protecting land in our communities, we
are all focused on a common and compelling purpose: to save the
places and natural treasures that people love by increasing the pace,
quality and permanence of land conservation.”
On Thursday evening of the Conference, the St. Simons Land Trust
hosted a celebratory Oyster Roast for attendees at Village Creek
Landing. On Friday morning, attendees were treated to a field trip to
Cannon’s Point, led by Susan Shipman, a St. Simons Land Trust Board
member and Chair of the Cannon’s Point Conservation Task Force. The
St. Simons Land Trust is currently working to raise the funds required to
acquire and protect, in perpetuity, Cannon’s Point’s 600 acres as a
quasi-wilderness preserve.

Years from now,
we may all look back on the period
2010-2012 as the time when
St. Simons Island made the most
significant strides in its history toward the
goal of preserving the scenic and natural
beauty for which it is so well known.
Donation to Land Trust
Bringing New Dimensions
to Botanical Trail Experience
A cornerstone of that achievement
can be the successful preservation of
Cannon’s Point. The Land Trust is working
daily on a fundraising plan which will
make this preservation effort a reality with
many people having already stepped
forward to play a part in this important
task. The next six to eight months will be a
critical test in this effort to preserve what
can be a model for preservation,
conservation and nature-centered
recreation and education.
All gifts to The Campaign to Preserve
Cannon’s Point will be recognized in a
separate publication once the funding
goal has been met.
This Newsletter edition includes listings
recognizing those individuals,
organizations, companies and foundations
who gave generously in 2011 in supporting
the mission of the Land Trust. It is
gratifying to see such a lengthy listing. In
2011, Land Trust donors came from all
walks of life and from near and far. Yet all
stand on the common ground that is a love
of St. Simons Island and a commitment to
the preservation of its natural treasures.
On behalf of the Board of Directors
and the staff of the Land Trust,
I extend our sincere thanks and
gratitude to each and every donor from last
year and look forward to your continued
support in the years ahead.

THE NEW GATHERING PLATFORM SPACE
ALONG THE ALICE RICHARDS BOTANICAL
TRAIL IS A NATURAL AMPHITHEATRE
AMID THE MARITIME FOREST.
Since its opening in December of 2009 as the Island’s first
new park in fifty years, Frederica Park has been the the kind
of community greenspace that is central to the Land Trust’s
mission. The 20-acre Park, funded by the Land Trust on land
donated by Sea Island Company, is now a beloved haven for
nature lovers, walkers, runners, children and families.
Among the Park’s most nature-centered features is the
Alice Richards Botanical Trail, a winding walk amid the live
oak forest made possible by a bequest from the estate of
Alice Richards for whom the trail is named. The trail already
includes a lovely gazebo, a children’s garden with miniature
faerie houses and an intriguing labyrinth–all made possible
by donations to the Land Trust.
The Waterfall Foundation has enhanced Frederica Park
with a $60,000 donation to the St. Simons Land Trust that is
funding the addition of new and engaging educational
dimensions for those who wander the botanical trail filled
with some 250 native plants and trees.
Already in place along the trail is a stepped platform
encircling the base of a live oak that serves as a wonderful
outdoor classroom for local school children and an inspiring
gathering spot for groups. Later will come a series of 8-10
fact-filled interpretative panels at key spots along the trail
that help tell the story of our Island’s emerging maritime
forests and give insights into coastal ecology. The panels will
feature special “QR codes” that, when scanned by visitors
with smart phones, are linked to internet resources that offer
additional information on the Island’s ecology and Land Trust
programs.
Individuals contributing their time and expertise to the
The Land Trust’s work on the Alice Richards Botanical Trail
enhancements include: Bill Edenfield, Sea Island Landscape
Architect; Vassa Cate, Sea Island Landscaping; Nate Brock,
Architect whose firm is Wiregrass Studio, Inc.; and Jacob
Thompson, a biologist with the Georgia Department of
Natural Resources.
Work Begins on St.Simons Island’s Newest Bike Path
Cyclists in the Golden Isles will soon be able to enjoy a newly planned bike path to be created along the
Sea Island Causeway linking St. Simons Island and Sea Island. The roughly one-mile path (shown in red on
the map below) will stretch from the intersection of Frederica and Sea Island Roads on St. Simons along
Sea Island Causeway to a turnaround point at the Sea Island security gate.
The project is a collaboration of Sea Island, which designed the trail, the PATH Foundation of Atlanta,
and the St. Simons Land Trust. In designing the path, Sea Island also worked closely with officials
from Glynn County and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Due to its
proximity to the marsh, and to be in keeping with DNR guidelines, the path will
be constructed of a special pervious material to allow storm water to
percolate through the surface.
"We are very pleased to see this path come about. Our first major path, completed in 2010
along the length of Lawrence Road, involved these same organizations and has been very popular."
– Ben Slade, Executive Director of the Land Trust.

NEW LIVE OAK GIVING LEVELS
Benefactors and Founders Circle
The Land Trust is a larger and more effective conservancy than at any point in its existence. Our
“Greenprint”_ a strategic conservation plan for St. Simons Island_ calls for protecting more land,
building more trails and developing more programming around these projects in the next 2–5 years.
At a time when achieving the Greenprint vision is more affordable and feasible than ever before, and
as the Land Trust continues to grow, we must be able to steward the properties we have protected
(almost 800 acres on St. Simons Island by the end of 2012), while acquiring new ones. The Live Oak
Society is the cornerstone of the larger, unrestricted financial support that is critical to the Land
Trust’s annual operating funds.
In recognition of Live Oak Society members who have generously and substantially increased
their annual giving level, the
St. Simons Land Trust recently
announced two new levels of
giving: Live Oak Benefactors
(annual gifts of $10,000 or
more) and the Live Oak
Founders Circle (annual gifts
of $25,000 or more). For
more information about the
Benefactor and Founder levels
of giving, contact Dana Pope
at (912) 638-9109. Or email:
[email protected].
Above: Live Oak Benefactors and Founders Circle donors were invited to a private reception with Hank Paulson (above,
second from right) in the Spanish Lounge at The Cloister prior to the recent reception honoring all Live Oak Society
members on April 20 to discuss Cannon’s Point and other important Land Trust initiatives on St. Simons Island.
Reception Honors Live Oak Society Members
The Land Trust’s annual reception, honoring members of its Live Oak Society, was held on April 20
at the Black Banks River Terrace at The Cloister on Sea Island. The event was highlighted by remarks
from Hank Paulson, former U.S. Secretary of the
Treasury, an avid champion of the work of the
Land Trust. There are currently 330 Live Oak
Society members whose financial leadership helps
sustain the work of the Land Trust through their
annual gifts of $1,000 or more.

Advisory Council, and Hank Paulson, addressed Live Oak
Society members at the reception; Bill Jones III, Co-Chair of
the Land Trust’s Cannon’s Point capital campaign; Ben Slade,
Executive Director of the St. Simons Land Trust.
The beautiful waterfront expanse of the Cloister’s Black
Banks Terrace was the setting for the 2012 Live Oak Society
Reception.
A Living
Legacy
The last sentence in the obituary
in the Atlanta Journal Constitution read
as follows: In lieu of flowers,
the family requests donations
to the St. Simons Land Trust.
The obituary for Billy Benton that
appeared following his death at age 83
on December 22, 2011, recounted the life
and accomplishments of this beloved
husband, father and successful real
estate developer, concluding with a
request that his family knows he would
have enthusiastically endorsed.
William Benton (Billy to his countless
friends) was officially a resident of
Atlanta. Yet emotionally, he was a
life-long resident of our area, beginning
with his visits to St. Simons as a small
child to the home his parents owned
on East Beach.
As his career in Atlanta commercial real
estate development and investment
grew, he and his wife Ida (Tuddy to her
friends) purchased a home on Sea Island
and continued their frequent visits here.
Billy and Tuddy first became involved
with the St. Simons Land Trust in 2010,
becoming members in that year and
later making a very generous donation
to the campaign to preserve the Old
Stables Corner, a site they often passed
during their stays here on the coast.
From that time until his death,
Billy Benton was a strong supporter of
the Land Trust and its mission to protect
and preserve land on the coast that he
loved so much. Billy is buried at
Christ Church, St. Simons.
“Billy and I were so happy with the work
the Land Trust is doing on St. Simons,”
remembered Mrs. Benton. “Protecting
the Island’s beauty is the greatest gift we
can all give to future generations.”
Numerous individuals have chosen to
honor Billy’s family’s wishes by making
Tribute Gifts to the Land Trust in his
memory. On page 7 of this newsletter
are the names of the 34 donors who did
so during 2011. Including those who have
done so in 2012, Billy’s legacy of support
of the Land Trust continues with over
60 Tribute Gifts in his name.

Land Trust Committees
The St. Simons Land Trust has standing committees whose members contribute their time and
expertise to advise the Board of Directors on matters relating to programs and functions of the Land
Trust. Most committees are chaired by a member of the Board and meet bi-monthly. The hard work
of these committees is vital to the success of Land Trust programs.
Executive Committee
Development Committee
Made up of the officers of the
Board of Directors, the Executive
Committee meets monthly to
review the operations of the Land
Trust and to consider new
initiatives or issues that need to be
taken before the full board at its
regular monthly meeting.
This committee is responsible for
Live Oak Society membership
and strategic planning for
general and project fundraising
efforts.
