SUMMARY:2025 Annual Spring Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Lowcountry Land Trust’s annual Spring Gathering will be held on Saturday\, April 5\, at Plum Hill in the ACE Basin. Situated on 945 acres protected by a Lowcountry Land Trust conservation easement\, guests will enjoy a family-friendly event highlighting the property’s historic rice fields and the adjacent Combahee River. \nTickets are all-inclusive\, and guests will enjoy a southern-style lunch with ingredients grown and sourced by Peculiar Pig Farm\, local beer and spirits\, bluegrass music from The Cluster Shucks\, and a dedicated play area for children. In addition to a silent auction featuring local products and experiences\, the event will offer Plum Hill-inspired or produced vendor items like seasonal wreaths and flowers\, organic produce\, and sustainable beef products. Main attractions will include property tours with Dr. Ann Kulze\, garden tours with Lucie Kulze\, and rice culture talks with Virginia Beach. \nThirty years ago\, Dr. and Mrs. Harry B. Gregorie\, Jr. and their seven adult children (Ann\, Becky\, Brien\, Dicksie\, Etta\, Jane\, and Henry) donated a conservation easement on Plum Hill to Lowcountry Land Trust. The easement was designed to protect the property’s ecological\, historical\, and scenic qualities for future generations. The 945 acres form a contiguous protected landscape with other private and public properties. One of the most prominent views on the property is the two hundred inland acres of sweeping handmade rice fields that exist in harmony with the ecosystem. The Gregorie family intentionally maintained the rice fields to supply habitat for ducks and other waterfowl species\, and they are credited with a resurgence of bald eagles and alligators in the area. \nSaturday\, April 5\, 2025\n12 to 3 pm\nPlum Hill  | Yemassee\, SC\nAdults $95  | Children (2-12) $25 \nA limited number of tickets are available for this event.

SUMMARY:2025 Oyster Wire Reef Build & Roast
DESCRIPTION:The restoration of local oyster reefs and Lowcountry Land Trust’s land protection efforts are interconnected in their shared goal of preserving and enhancing coastal ecosystems. As part of Lowcountry Land Trust’s community outreach program\, Soul of the Lowcountry\, we invite you to join us in January for an oyster wire reef build volunteer opportunity (Wednesday\, January 8) and family-friendly oyster roast (Sunday\, January 12)! \nRegistration At Capacity – Oyster Wire Reef Build Volunteer Opportunity\nWednesday\, January 8\, from 9 am to 12 pm\nSCDNR | 217 Fort Johnson Road\, Charleston\, SC 29412 \nRegistration At Capacity – Family-Friendly Oyster Roast\nSunday\, January 12\, 2025\, from 2 pm to 5 pm\nGold Bug Island | 1560 Ben Sawyer Blvd\, Mount Pleasant\, SC 29464 \nIn 1996\, Lowcountry Land Trust permanently protected Gold Bug Island by placing a conservation easement on the 29-acre parcel of both highlands and wetlands. Named after the short story by Edgar Allen Poe\, Gold Bug Island sits between Mount Pleasant and Sullivans along Ben Sawyer Blvd and is owned by the East Cooper Outboard Motor Club. \nGuests of the family-friendly oyster roast will enjoy a Sunday afternoon on Gold Bug Island\, shucking fresh South Carolina oysters paired with homemade chili\, salad\, cornbread\, and dessert. They will socialize with other Lowcountry-loving locals while enjoying both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and listening to bluegrass music from the Charleston-based band Dallas Baker and Friends. Hot dogs and a variety of activities will be available for children. \nRegistration At Capacity – Volunteer the week before the oyster roast on Wednesday\, January 8\, helping Lowcountry Land Trust and SCDNR recycle shells and build wire reef cages that support new habitats for juvenile oysters. Restaurants and the public recycle their oyster shells through SCDNR’s oyster shell recycling drop-off sites. Volunteers will shape the wire into small cages using power tools (experience not necessary) and add recycled oyster shells inside. These reefs will be used for SCDNR’s oyster reef restoration projects next year! Spat (baby oysters) are attracted to and settle on the shell in these wire cages\, creating new oyster growth and\, eventually\, new reefs. \nBoth events will allow guests to learn about the region’s oyster habitat and how proper shell recycling benefits water quality and the Lowcountry’s diverse ecosystems. \nClick here to read more details and register.

SUMMARY:Rescheduled: Conch Creek Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us for a cleanup at Conch Creek! \nHosted in partnership with Charleston Waterkeeper and Adopt-A-Highway\, we’ll pick up trash along Ben Sawyer Blvd. that has made its way into the marsh. All supplies needed for the cleanup are provided! Spaces are limited\, and we kindly request advance registration.  \n RESCHEDULED Date: Thursday\, December 19\, 2024 \nTime: 10 am – 11:30 am \nLocation: Gold Bug Island\, 1560 Ben Sawyer Blvd\, Mt Pleasant\, SC 29464 \nConch Creek has been protected by Lowcountry Land Trust since 2022 and encompasses 398 acres between Mount Pleasant and Sullivan’s Island. The acres are mostly wetlands (with approximately 5 acres of highlands) that provide habitat for breeding\, migration\, and wintering migratory birds in the coastal zone of South Carolina. \nAs human infrastructure continues to be built along the surrounding highland\, Lowcountry Land Trust’s conservation efforts will maintain the integrity of the wetlands\, which help mitigate potential flooding and protect water quality in the area. By joining us for the cleanup\, your efforts will advance our mission in a tangible way by keeping the marsh clean! \nWe suggest dressing for the weather\, including long pants and comfortable shoes that can get muddy. Depending on the weather\, please plan to bring a water bottle\, bug spray\, and sunscreen. We will meet and park at Gold Bug Island\, then head out along Ben Sawyer Boulevard. In the case of inclement weather\, the event will be rescheduled. We look forward to seeing you in the marsh!

SUMMARY:Oyster Reef Build
DESCRIPTION:Advanced Registration Required: Register Here  \nWe’re looking for 20 volunteers ages 16+ to join us on Tuesday\, July 30\, from 8:30 to 11:30 am to build an oyster reef along the banks of the Cooper River. \nVolunteers will meet representatives from Lowcountry Land Trust and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) at Remley’s Point Public Boat Landing in Mount Pleasant\, where they will work together to load bags of oyster shells into SCDNR boats. \nLowcountry Land Trust and SCDNR will then boat the volunteers and oyster shells to a designated location along the banks of the Cooper River\, where volunteers will create an assembly line to place the oyster shell bags into a reef formation. \nAfterward\, all volunteers will return on the boat to Remley’s Point Public Boat Landing. \nAll volunteers will be required to sign Lowcountry Land Trust and SCDNR waivers before partaking in physical activities. Expect to lift and carry 20-40 pound bags of oyster shells while standing in pluff mud. Reef builds are a blast\, but they are labor intensive. \nGloves\, arm protection\, sunscreen\, bug spray\, and a water refill station will be provided. Please bring a reusable water bottle. We recommend wearing closed-toed shoes that can get muddy (no sandals)\, shorts\, a long-sleeved shirt\, sunglasses\, and hats.

SUMMARY:Sold Out - Soul of the Lowcountry Oyster Roast
DESCRIPTION:The restoration of local oyster reefs and Lowcountry Land Trust’s land protection efforts are interconnected in their shared goal of preserving and enhancing coastal ecosystems. As part of Lowcountry Land Trust’s community outreach program\, Soul of the Lowcountry\, we invite you to join us in January for an oyster wire reef build volunteer opportunity (Thurs\, January 18) and family-friendly oyster roast (Sun\, January 21)! \nOyster Wire Reef Build Volunteer Opportunity\nThursday\, January 18\, 2024\, from 9 am to 12 pm\nSCDNR | 217 Fort Johnson Road\, Charleston\, SC 29412\nClick here to register. \nFamily-Friendly Oyster Roast\nSunday\, January 21\, 2024\, from 2 pm to 5 pm\nGold Bug Island | 1560 Ben Sawyer Blvd\, Mount Pleasant\, SC 29464\nClick here to purchase tickets. \nIn 1996\, Lowcountry Land Trust permanently protected Gold Bug Island by placing a conservation easement on the 29-acre parcel of both highlands and wetlands. Named after the short story by Edgar Allen Poe\, Gold Bug Island sits between Mount Pleasant and Sullivans along Ben Sawyer Blvd and is owned by the East Cooper Outboard Motor Club. \nGuests of the family-friendly oyster roast will enjoy a Sunday afternoon on Gold Bug Island\, shucking fresh South Carolina oysters paired with homemade chili\, salad\, cornbread\, and cobbler\, socializing with other Lowcountry-loving locals while sipping bloody marys\, mimosas\, beer\, wine\, sweet tea\, and lemonade\, and listening to bluegrass music from the Charleston-based band\, Dallas Baker and Friends.

Restaurants and the public recycle their oyster shells through SCDNR’s oyster shell recycling drop-off sites. Volunteers will shape the wire into small cages using power tools (experience not necessary) and add recycled oyster shells inside. These reefs will be used for SCDNR’s oyster reef restoration projects next year! Spat (baby oysters) are attracted to and settle on the shell in these wire cages\, creating new oyster growth and\, eventually\, new reefs. Click here to register. \nBoth events will allow guests to learn about the region’s oyster habitat and how proper shell recycling benefits water quality and the Lowcountry’s diverse ecosystems.
