ANNUAL EVENTS
Every year, Lowcountry Land Trust hosts three fundraisers, all on private and protected properties. Join us in January at our Oyster Roast on Gold Bug Island, in April for our Spring Gathering at a different location annually, and in October for our Sporting Clays Shoot at Brosnan Forest. Each event offers new ways to immerse yourself in nature, foster camaraderie, and experience traditional Lowcountry pastimes.

ANNUAL SPRING GATHERING

Our popular annual Spring Gathering is held each April, with the location varying from year to year to highlight the range of properties protected by a Lowcountry Land Trust conservation easement. Guests will enjoy a family-friendly event that highlights each property’s unique location, history, and culture.  Tickets include a southern-style lunch with ingredients grown and sourced by Peculiar Pig Farm, local beer and spirits, bluegrass music, and a dedicated play area for children. In addition to a silent auction featuring local products and experiences, the event offers a vendor market shopping experience and property tours.
