Land protection is a deeply personal decision for landowners. While the reasons for exploring a lasting conservation solution are as diverse as the properties themselves, they all derive from a common source—a powerful connection to the land. By protecting your land, you have a say in its future. You leave behind a legacy which remains with the land in perpetuity.
A land trust is a nonprofit organization that, as all or part of its mission, actively works to conserve land by acquiring property or conservation easements.
South Carolina Land Trust Network members generally work in geographies defined by watersheds. Some organizations that hold conservation easements also work statewide.
