The Nature Conservancy. Protecting nature. Preserving life.™

Wetlands with carnivorous plants, Gulf shorelines, rivers and bottomland hardwood forests are all places we protect.

Below you'll see our state divided into four sections called Ecoregions. An Ecoregion is an area defined by its environmental conditions, especially climate, landforms, and soil characteristics.

The Mississippi Ecoregions are:

• Mississippi Alluvial Plan - Also known as the Mississippi River Delta in the northwest part of our state.
• Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain - The northeast part of our state.
• Northern Gulf of Mexico - This covers the most southern counties of our state.
• East Gulf Coastal Plain - Southeast Mississippi up through the central part of the state.

Each Conservancy preserve in Mississippi is listed below within its ecoregion.
