Lucretia Norman

October 24, 2023

Lucretia Norman’s connection to the natural world and longleaf pines began with exploring her grandparents’ farm in North Florida at an early age. After receiving a degree in biology with an emphasis on ecology from Jacksonville University, she worked in management for an orthopedic group. Lucretia currently serves as a Charlton County, Georgia District Supervisor for the Satilla River Soil and Water Conservation District. She shares her residence between Jacksonville, Florida, and her tree farm in Folkston, Georgia, which she manages alongside her husband, Lynn. The Norman family, including Lucretia’s three children and seven grandchildren, love spending time at the farm and helping with the management, especially prescribed burning. Lucretia’s hobbies (painting, fishing  kayaking, upland hunting, gun sports and tennis) allow her to spend a lot of time outdoors. She also enjoys making game sausages and preserving fruits and vegetables. Lucretia’s love of nature and a desire to help the environment led her to become part of the national effort to conserve and restore longleaf pine forests throughout the Southeast.
