Broxton Rocks Mitigation Bank (Broxton Rocks) is a large, regionally significant mitigation bank comprising approximately 1,591 acres located in South Georgia on the southeastern bank of the Ocmulgee River. The bank is situated contiguous to the Horse Creek Wildlife Management Area to the north and the Broxton Rocks Preserve to the south, forming an extensive and ecologically connected conservation landscape.
The site is characterized by a unique geologic setting associated with a four-mile-long sandstone outcropping of the Altamaha Grit, part of an estimated 15,000 square miles of sandstone underlying Georgia’s Coastal Plain. The bank includes seepage streams, hardwood wetland forest floodplains, and forested uplands with wetland and riparian buffers.
