SUMMARY:Stono Preserve Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Lowcountry Land Trust for a guided nature walk through the beautiful Stono Preserve. Led by knowledgeable naturalist Bradley Jaynes\, we’ll explore the area’s rich biodiversity with a focus on local flora and fauna. This walk will give participants access to this private preserve to learn about local fungi\, spot fascinating insects\, and gain insight into the delicate balance of the ecosystem. \nWhether you’re a seasoned forager or just curious about the natural world\, this is a unique opportunity to connect with nature\, learn something new\, and fuel your soul with Lowcountry beauty. Kids accompanied by adults are also welcome to join! \nDate: Wednesday\, June 11\, 2025 \nTime: 10 to 11 am \nLocation: Stono Preserve; 5300 Dixie Plantation Rd. Hollywood\, SC 29449 \nDirections: After arriving at the first gate\, you will keep driving to the next gate on the left (gate 4). We will then all meet at the barn. Please follow Lowcountry Land Trust’s directional signs once at Stono Preserve. \nAdvance registration is required! This event is outdoors\, and we recommend dressing for the weather. Long pants and closed-toe shoes or snake boots are recommended.  We also recommend bringing bug spray\, sunscreen\, reusable water bottles\, binoculars\, and preferred field guides. \nEvent Accessibility: This nature walk will be approximately one mile long and cover mixed terrain with some incline. \nMore Information About Stono Preserve \nThe College of Charleston at Stono Preserve is a majestic 981-acre property along the Stono River and the Intracoastal Waterway. The myriad ecosystems include long-leaf pine forests\, wetlands\, savannahs\, tidal marshes\, and brackish\, saltwater\, and freshwater ponds. \nStono Preserve enables the College of Charleston to educate its students in an unparalleled natural setting\, inspire collaboration across campus\, industry\, and governmental agencies\, and prepare students and faculty to be leaders in today’s environmentally volatile global society. In partnership with Lowcountry Land Trust\, the College of Charleston is embarking on a strategic\, comprehensive plan to restore Stono Preserve to its original purpose as a “conservationist’s classroom.” Native\, diverse ecosystems will be restored and maintained to provide experiential learning for College students and faculty. With the “light on the land” minimalist support facilities in place\, Stono Preserve will become an urban refuge for those interested in and appreciative of the natural world around us.

SUMMARY:Oyster Reef Deployment with SCDNR
DESCRIPTION:Get muddy for conservation! Join Lowcountry Land Trust and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) for an oyster reef deployment.  \nVolunteers will work together to load pre-filled bags of oyster shells onto a boat at Wappoo Cut Boat Landing. From there\, the oysters and volunteers will travel by boat to the deployment site\, where volunteers will create an assembly line to place the oyster shell bags into a reef formation along the shoreline. \nDate: July 24\, 2025 \nTime: 12 to 3pm  \nLocation: Wappoo Cut Boat Landing; Tranquil Dr\, Charleston\, SC 29412 \nOyster reef deployments are placed along muddy shorelines that will benefit from an oyster reef. During the summertime\, microscopic baby oysters (called spat) travel throughout salt marsh waterways\, searching for a hard substrate to land on and begin growing. By deploying these oyster reefs in vulnerable areas\, we encourage wild oyster reef growth in the areas that need it most by giving spat a place to land and grow. Oyster reefs are an essential building block of the salt marsh ecosystem\, adding stability and habitat and filtering the waterways we love. \nOyster reef deployments are a blast\, but they are labor-intensive! Please be prepared to repeatedly lift and carry 20 to 40-pound bags of oysters while standing in pluff mud. Teamwork truly makes the dream work – this is an excellent opportunity to make new friends and work together! \nGloves\, arm protection\, sunscreen\, bug spray\, and a water refill station will be provided. Please bring a reusable water bottle\, and arrive hydrated. We recommend wearing closed-toed shoes that can get muddy (no sandals)\, shorts\, a long-sleeved shirt\, sunglasses\, and hats. Advance registration is required. See you in the marsh! \n

SUMMARY:Alge Island Kayak Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:As a celebration of Lowcountry Earth Month\, community members are invited to participate in a kayak cleanup of Alge Island\, a property that led to the organization of Lowcountry Land Trust in 1986. \nIn 1986\, Mr. Bill Alge was worried about the sale and potential development of a 20-acre island behind his West Ashley neighborhood. He rallied his neighbors\, and their grassroots effort led to the formation of Lowcountry Land Trust and the protection of the island\, now named Alge Island. They saved the scenic views of the Stono River and the island’s ecosystem from development while showcasing how fee-simple acquisitions are effective conservation tools.\n\nLowcountry Land Trust’s mission is to connect the community to conservation. We invite environmental enthusiasts to paddle the property’s perimeter and help keep its surrounding waterway (a tributary to the Stono River) clean this Earth Month! \n\nDate: Friday\, April 24 \nTime: 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm \nLocation: 418 Owen St\, Charleston\, SC 29414 \n\nLowcountry Land Trust and event partners will provide kayaks\, life jackets\, paddles\, and all trash cleanup supplies. We recommend wearing weather-appropriate clothing and bringing a water bottle\, sunscreen\, and bug spray. Spots are limited – all participants must register ahead of time. \nThank you to our event supporters who made this Lowcountry Earth Month cleanup event possible: Coastal Expeditions\, Evans General Contractors\, and Keep Charleston Beautiful. Community is at the heart of conservation!
