SOUTHERN STATES LAND & TIMBER, LLC is a subsidiary of The J. M. Burguières Co., Limited, the oldest single family- owned land holding company currently in operation in Louisiana. In 2015, Southern States Land & Timber began its environmental venture as it acquired Lake Wales Ridge Conservation Bank in Central Florida providing habitat for endangered Sand Skinks and Gopher Tortoises. Currently, Southern States Land & Timber has 4 mitigation banks and 2 conservation banks and 4 mitigation banks in the permitting stage. Our latest bank to open is Mangrove Point Mitigation Bank, which is a premier estuarine restoration project. Southern States restored the 469-acre disturbed site back to its highly valuable natural state of mangrove forest, saltern, and other associated habitat, enabling the site to be an important contributor to the greater ecosystem of the eastern Tampa Bay shoreline tidal community integrated with the adjacent E. G. Simmons Park, the Wolf Branch Park, and other conservation lands. Southern States is committed to the management and preservation required to re-establish and enhance critical habitats that exist on our properties utilized by protected and endangered wildlife species. In coordination with USFWS, we can provide species specific compensatory mitigation for unavoidable habitat impacts and incidental take related to commercial development, utilities, and roadways in Central Florida. www.ssltllc.com
