Outside of Focus Areas
Total acres: 1,957
Over the past 20 years, the area of lands that Lowcountry Open Land Trust protects has begun to expand to locations farther from Charleston and the coast, reaching towards the northern edges of the coastal plain. A property does not necessarily have to fall within the boundaries of the coastal focus areas to be protected by Lowcountry Open Land Trust, and the Land Trust does not pass up opportunities to protect large, important tracts of land in the upper reaches of the Lowcountry, if the project fits within the mission.
Since 2004, Lowcountry Open Land Trust has accepted 6 easements outside of the focus areas, four of which are in the vicinity of one another just outside of Winyah Bay Focus Area, along the Pocotaligo and Black Rivers, totaling 1,957 acres. The other two are located above the ACE Basin Focus Area in Bamberg and Orangeburg Counties.
