1.3 Million Protected Acres and Counting

From the mountains to the sea, the river bottoms to the agricultural fields, South Carolina’s open spaces define our quality of life, shape our traditions, clean our water, and drive an $85 billion timber, farming, and tourism economy. 


Together, South Carolina land trusts have collectively protected more than one million acres of land in our state.

State and local leaders along with outdoor enthusiasts gathered today to get a first glimpse from the scenic ridge of the 1,090-acre Saluda Bluff property acquired by Naturaland Trust earlier this year.

Additionally, the significant amount of frontage along the Saluda River along with the adjoining floodplain made this project a priority for the South Carolina Office of Resilience.
