Lowcountry Center for Conservation

LOWCOUNTRY CENTER FOR CONSERVATION

The Lowcountry Center for Conservation sits on the historic grounds of Ashem Farm in West Ashley, once home to Charleston philanthropist and equestrian Emily Ravenel Farrow. After nearly a century caring for the land, Farrow placed the property under conservation easements with Historic Charleston Foundation and bequeathed it to Lowcountry Land Trust with one clear wish: that the Land Trust establish its permanent headquarters there while ensuring the land remained protected.
