CREATING COMMUNITY-CENTERED PLACES
Protecting and maintaining our natural resources by avoiding overdevelopment is crucial to the continued enjoyment of the Lowcountry for generations to come. In addition to Lowcountry Land Trust’s conservation easements held and privately owned lands, LLT owns and protects publicly-accessible properties that are in direct harmony with the culture and values of the Lowcountry. These ambassador sites emphasize the importance of regional lands and showcase examples of conservation to the community.

HELP US PLAN ANGEL OAK PRESERVE

Lowcountry Land Trust is working with internationally-recognized landscape architect Nelson Byrd Woltz and a diverse steering committee to build a 44-acre preserve. 

Unrivaled in its features and accessibility, the design will feature boardwalk trails, a nature play area for children and educational information about the tree and native people that have held this place sacred.

The process launched in the summer of 2022 and will include public meetings, surveys, and stakeholder interviews. The goal is to complete a design that honors the rural and cultural context of the land in early 2023.
