The Founder
Conservationist of
the Lower Coastal Plain
Rookery and Roots Conservancy was founded in 2025 by Isaiah E. Scott, born and raised in Rincon, Georgia — just 12 miles from Savannah. He is a recent graduate from Cornell University, receiving his bachelor’s degree in Environment and Sustainability with a focus on ornithology.
Isaiah is an avid bird watcher, natural history illustrator, and social media influencer known as Ike’s Birding Hikes. Being a Low Country native and of Gullah Geechee descent, Isaiah has always loved the wildlife and people of the Lower Coastal Plain.
He created RRC to protect the unique biocultural landscape from rapid development in recent years — ensuring the land, its stories, and its wildlife endure for generations to come.
