Southeast Wooded Pine is one of several outlying islands that the Georgian Bay Land Trust has helped to protect. The island is characterized by a small stand of the characteristic Georgian Bay wind-swept White Pines surrounded by low-lying, predominantly open bedrock. Throughout the bedrock are small depressions, many of which are filled in by a variety of wetlands including small bogs, meadow marsh communities and seasonal ponds. As an off-shore island, Southeast Wooded Pine provides critical refuge habitat for migrating birds, including breeding habitat for Killdeer which has been observed nesting on the island. The island is well known for serving as a painting destination for the Group of Seven.
