From the mountains to the sea and the river bottoms to the agricultural fields, South Carolina’s open spaces define our quality of life, shape our traditions, and drive an $85 billion timber, farming, and tourism economy. No one has a greater role in shaping the landscape of our state, than family landowners. More than 60% of the forest and farmland in the state is owned by private individuals.
We hope this guide will inspire you to take the next step in defining your personal land legacy by reaching out to your local land trust for more information.
