2010 Annual Membership Picnic

2008 Annual Report

This Annual Report is to salute our easement donors as well as the individuals, foundations, and businesses whose financial support made it possible for us to work with landowners to help protect the Lowcountry landscape. We thank you for your support!

Picture Dorchester County as a jigsaw puzzle. And picture the all-green pieces stretching along the 40-mile-long Four Holes Swamp. What you're picturing is a conservation dream that looks more doable than ever.

Our Mission

To protect and foster voluntary conservation of the irreplaceable Lowcountry forests, farmland, open spaces, wildlife habitat and wetlands, thus helping to conserve forever our community’s unique sense of place and quality of life.

Protection of land by conservation easements and other methods represents a lasting solution for preserving the Lowcountry's natural and historic landscape.

The Lowcountry Open Land Trust adheres to high ethical standards and has adopted the Land Trust Standards and Practices as guidelines for our operations.

With the support of conservation-minded landowners, members and foundations we have preserved over 81,100 acres throughout the lowcountry of South Carolina, from the Savannah River to Winyah Bay.  To learn more about our protected properties, view our Land Protection section.

We invite anyone who is concerned about the rapid loss of our natural environment in the Lowcountry to become a member and support our work.

"You can make a difference!"  These are the words of one of our founding members, the late Nancy Hawk, reflecting back on the accomplishments of the organization that she helped to get started.
