The Lowcountry Open Land Trust mission is to protect,
through private voluntary conservation measures ,
the irreplaceable Lowcountry forests, farmland, open spaces,
wildlife habitat and wetlands,
thus helping to preserve forever
our community’s unique sense of place and quality of life.

The year 2007 was phenomenal for
the Lowcountry Open Land Trust. We helped
landowners preserve 10,561 acres, which is
the most in our 22-year history. Not only was
2007 the biggest year for preserving land,
but thanks to our members and supporters,
we also raised the second highest amount
of money in our history. We couldn’t have
achieved such success without our dedicated
members!
The Lowcountry Open Land Trust has
now worked with landowners to save 57,579
acres since our founding in 1985. During
2007, we negotiated and recorded 28 new
easements, as well as the expansion of two
previously existing easements, for a total of 30
easements, bringing our protected properties
to 211. In membership, we added 65 new
individual members, 8 new businesses, and 4
new foundations as land trust supporters. Your
generosity enabled us to meet the increased
demand for our services and finish the year

In our first 21years of operation, the Lowcountry Open

an impressive achievement. In our twenty-second year, we

South Carolina Focus Areas
The South Carolina Focus Areas were created in the late 1980’s through a state,
federal, and private partnership to protect critical watersheds of the Lowcountry.
More than 500,000 acres across South Carolina have been protected through
voluntary conservation easements, aquisition, and gifts of land, 57,579 acres
through the Lowcountry Open Land Trust alone.

L a n d s pr ot e c t e d i n
In 2007, the Lowcountry Open Land Trust added 28
new protected properties and 2 additions to existing
easements, helping landowners save a record 10,561
acres in perpetuity. With these easements, the Land Trust
now has
57,579
preserved acres in South Carolina. The
following is a brief summary of the 2007 conservation
projects and the properties they protect.
12
ACE BASIN FOCUS AREA
Brack Properties – 2 easements for 34 acres
This property is located on the tidal creek associated with Tilly
Island and the Old Chehaw River, which drains into St. Helena
Sound. The Sound is recognized as one of the most pristine estuaries
on the eastern seaboard. Conserved by Andy and Courtenay Brack,
the property sits at the gateway to Tilly Island. First settled prior to
1690, Tilly Island is one of only two partially-developed causewayconnected islands in the Ace Basin.
Brookland Plantation – 60 acres
Prior to the Revolutionary War, Brookland Plantation was a
prosperous indigo plantation of the Jenkins Family, and later
produced sea island cotton during the antebellum and postCivil War era. The earlier plantation house was replaced with the
presentday house (circa 1800-1807), the core of which was built
of black cypress. The house is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. Structural remains indicate that there were
elaborately landscaped grounds, including a sunken garden. Longgone slave cabins once stood between what are now grand old oak
trees. In the 1960s, a missionary couple bought the plantation and
turned it into Brooklands Home for Boys. Remnants of the school
still remain. The old school bell is mounted in the back garden and a
rope swing hangs from a tree at the edge of Shingle Creek. The views
include spectacular marsh vistas along Shingle Creek, an open grove
of pecan trees, a pond, fields and numerous live oak trees draped in
Spanish moss. This conservation easement was donated by Thomas
J. J. Ravenel.
Belle Vista Bluff
old house plantation
Belle Vista Bluff – 61 acres
Located in Meggett, Belle Vista Bluff is comprised of open fields,
marsh, forested wetlands, live oak groves, and mixed upland forests.
It is unique in that it’s a peninsula, boasting over 8,500 feet of water
frontage on Gibson Creek and part of an expansive public vista
from the Wadmalaw River. The property has 36 acres of forested
uplands, 16 acres of forested wetlands, 7 acres of cleared and open
fields, and a 3-acre tidal impoundment. With pastures and open
fields for horses, the conservation easement on Belle Vista Bluff
will protect the rural and agricultural nature of this area for both
the present and future generations to enjoy and cherish, thanks to
Mike and Betsy Carroll.
Edelhof – 123 acres
Located inland of the Edisto River, Edelhof comprises a diverse
array of forest types, including pine stands and mixed hardwoods.
Primary management objectives are for enhanced wildlife habitat
and production of healthy, sustainable stands of timber. Thanks
to the generosity of John and Andrea von Lehe, it is hoped that
protection of this property will encourage nearby landowners
within the Edisto River watershed to consider protecting their land
as well.
Old House Plantation – 269 acres
Old House Plantation has approximately 3,200 feet of forested
frontage along a tributary of Westbank Creek. The house is the
oldest on Edisto Island, predating the Revolutionary Period, and
is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built by
William Jenkins circa 1735-1760, its architecture is indicative of
pre-Revolutionary era, with updates that reflect the 19th and 20th
centuries. The commissary, which was constructed circa 1898, is
13
also on the National Register of Historic Places. The property
has 84 acres of forested uplands, 110 acres of forested wetlands,
15 acres of non-forested wetlands, and 60 acres of cleared, open
agricultural fields. As a result of this traditional agricultural use, a
wide variety of wildlife habitat is preserved, as well as water quality.
The conservation easement on Old House Plantation was donated
by John and Gigi Frampton.
Round O Farm – 90 acres
Located between Sidney Road and a small stream near the head of
Fuller Swamp, which drains directly into Horseshoe Lead Creek
and the Ashepoo River, this area is known for the abundance
of surface limestone formations and the rare plant communities
associated with these formations. By virtue of hydrology and the
presence of high-quality soils, a significant portion of Round O
Farm contains a variety of uncommon upland deciduous forest
communities, particularly beech-magnolia forests and some spruce
pine. The balance of the property is comprised of agricultural
fields, wildlife management areas, open water (waterfowl pond),
and mixed hardwood/pine forests. Protection of Round O Farm,
conserved by the Hiott family, creates a corridor of protection,
adding 90 acres to the 370 acres associated with the adjacent Rock
Spring Plantation which was protected by LOLT in 2001.
Temple of Sport – 70 additional acres
The original 408-acre conservation easement
on Temple of Sport was donated in December
of 2000 by Charley and Martha Lynn Webb,
and this amendment adds another 70 acres,
for a total of 478 acres protected by LOLT.
Given its location on Green Pond, with
neighboring wildlife management areas and
Hwy 17, this property serves as a key piece
of the puzzle for land protection efforts in
the ACE Basin. Through the terms of the
amendment, the protected property will
continue to be used for traditional uses such
as forestry, agriculture, equine and wildlife
management. The name “Temple of Sport”
derives from a classically-columned, preRevolutionary war-era structure built by
Colonel Barnard Elliot, which “afforded an
excellent stand for hunting deer.”

2007
Windsor House Plantation – 121 additional acres
Thanks to the generosity of Demi and Ellie Howard, this addition
to the existing 141-acre easement brings the total protected area
to 262 acres. Situated along SC Highway 174 on Edisto Island,
Windsor House Plantation II extends into the marsh and waters
of Russell Creek. The ecosystems associated with the property
include planted pine stands, maritime forests and saltwater marsh.
The property is currently managed for sustainable harvest and
prudent management of the forest resources and scenic features,
preservation of the significant wildlife habitat, existing ecological
features and the traditional uses of recreation and forestry.
CAWS BASIN – The Sea Islands Initiative
Bryan Dairy – 852 acres
The Bryan Family has owned this farmland for over five
generations (nearly 200 years), with four generations currently
living on the property. Through this easement, agricultural land,
forested uplands, three small island hummocks, and vast expanses
of almost 700 acres of marshlands adjacent to the Kiawah River
will be protected forever. Known to be the site of an Indian burial
ground, the property was originally owned by Henry Woodward,
a white settler who left the pre-Colonial
encampments to live with the Indians. The
original plantation house was burned by
Union Forces during the Civil War. Bryan
Dairy boasts vast uninterrupted waterfront
vistas along Chaplin Creek and the Kiawah
River, including views of the southern end of
Folly Beach. John’s Island has always served as
the agricultural heart of its area and, through
the protection of Bryan Dairy, it will remain
one of the largest properties on John’s Island
to conduct traditional agricultural practices.
The Bugby Plantation Properties
– 3 easements for a total of 1,222 acres
The three properties which comprise this
outstanding landscape, recognized as the
“gateway” to Wadmalaw Island, have been in
the Sosnowski family for five generations. The
dupree farm
land contains historic features eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places, including
remnants of three historic tenant houses and the Sosnowski farm
house, all circa 1915. There are also remnants of sea island cotton
production on the property, including farm equipment, dike systems
and buildings. The property is currently managed for diverse forest
products and agriculture, sustainable harvest of timber resources,
and restoration of longleaf pine ecosystems. Protection of these
parcels conserves forever three significant viewsheds, prominently
visible by the public from both Maybank
Highway, Church Creek, and Bohicket
Creek, with over 2 miles of primarily
forested creek frontage, as well as over 7400
feet of tributary frontage, and includes some
acres of adjacent marshland.
Dupree Farm – 77 acres
With 1,500 feet of forested frontage along
Maybank Highway, Dupree Farm has 35
acres of forested upland, 25 acres of forested
wetland, and 17 acres of cleared and open
fields. The wetlands on the property feed
into Bohicket Creek, and the existing
natural condition of the protected property
contributes very little nonpoint source
pollution to this nearby waterway. John
and Mina Dupree are great stewards of
this 77-acre tract, with the property being
managed for open space, wildlife habitat,
and minimum-impact outdoor recreational activities, including
hunting, as well as rural residential uses.
Morning Hill Farm – 9 acres
With the protection of scenic views from Bears Bluff Road and
Church Creek, this conservation easement on Morning Hill Farm
is just one of a series held by LOLT on the eastern point of Wadmalaw
Island. Conservation of this property
by Rutledge Young demonstrates a
collaboration of protection among
Wadmalaw residents dedicated to
maintaining the rural character of the
island.
Oak Point – 2 additional easements
bugby plantation
for 16 acres
With open fields and upland forests,
these
additional
conservation
easements bring the total number
of protected Oak Point acres to
171, adding to the Henry M. Hay
family’s generous effort to help protect
Wadmalaw Island. Management of

CAWS BASIN – Ashley River Initiative
Live Oak Plantation – 225 acres
As a working farm with cattle, chickens and horses, Live Oak
Plantation is a unique property situated along Wallace Creek.
The highland serves as pasture and open fields for the various
agricultural operations, while the approximate 145 acres of historic
rice fields provides valuable habitat to various waterfowl and aquatic
species. The dike system allows for proper management of the rice
fields for waterfowl management, as well as for establishing an ideal
viewshed from the residential structures on the protected property.
The conservation easement was donated by David and Becky Baird,
and it serves as a model for protection for other properties along the
Rantowles Creek and Wallace Creek watershed.
CAWS BASIN – Cooper/ Wando Initiative
Midway Plantation – 1275 acres
live oak plantation
enhancement of open spaces, wildlife habitat, and encouragement
of traditional recreational uses. Protection of the parcels preserves
important viewsheds, with significant frontage along Bears Bluff
Road and 650 feet of forested frontage on Church Creek.
Racket Hall – 244 acres
Racket Hall is the remainder of a large 19th century farm that was
one of several on this portion of Wadmalaw Island. It features a
1920s-era farmhouse, typical of Lowcountry farm architecture, as
well as other agricultural structures that date back several decades.
Present/future agriculture includes a rotation of crops, such as
tomatoes, corn and other grain crops. Situated along Bohicket
Creek, Racket Hall has over 2,500 feet of creek frontage which will
be protected forever, thanks to the generosity of Bill and Jane East.
The family encourages sustainable forestry practices to establish,
maintain, and improve the wildlife habitat. The property has 60
acres of forested wetland, small patches of non-forested wetlands,
30 acres of planted pine and forested upland, and 150 acres of open
agricultural fields.
16
Midway Plantation contains Midway Reserve, a contributing resource
to the Cooper River National Historic District. Originally owned
in 1790 by John Ball of Kensington and Hyde Park plantations,
the property boasts remnants of a large inland rice reserve that was
initially linked to Gough Creek through Kensington Plantation. The
canal system and slave-made banks are still visible on the property.
Modern water-control trunks and gates have replaced the originals,
but the integrity of this 150-acre reserve which is still under watercontrol management remains high. The Plantation has over 2 miles
of forested highway frontage on SC Highway 402, all of which will
be preserved forever thanks to the conservation spirit of the members
of Midway Plantation LLC. The property has a diversity of relatively
natural habitats, including upland planted pine, longleaf pine
stands, mixed pine/hardwood, wetlands, open fields and freshwater
impoundments.
WINYAH BAY FOCUS AREA
Hobonny Fields – 196 acres
With various landcover types, Hobonny Fields plays a key role in the
protection of the watershed of Black Mingo Creek and Black River.
Thanks to the generosity of the Vaught family, Hobonny Fields adds
to the linkage of protected properties in the neighborhood and will
contribute to the conservation of traditional uses in Georgetown
County. The property is managed for enhanced wildlife habitat,
which includes the planting of open fields, the management of
interior waterfowl impoundments, and the preservation of the floodplain forest along Squirrel Creek.
SOUTH LOWCOUNTRY FOCUS AREA
Cypress Creek Plantation – 2 easements for 3256 acres
Adjoining the already-protected 1006-acre property known as
Cypress Creek Plantation, this 3256-acre addition represents
significant acreage within Jasper County and the Savannah River
Preserve Conservation Program. The Savannah River Preserve
Program is designed with the goal of being the highest leveraged
and most significant public/private conservation initiative in the
history of South Carolina. It has been inspired and led by grassroots
involvement of landowners and conservation partners working
towards the common goal of protecting the landscape and the
traditional ways of life in the Savannah River watershed. Situated off
US Highway 321 near Tarboro, Cypress Creek Plantation is a mix
of forest types, boasting over 1,700 acres of bottomland hardwood
forests within the watershed of Cypress Creek Swamp. Other forest
types include planted pine, mixed pine/hardwood, longleaf pine,
and various other diverse stands of timber. The donors of the
conservation easements (John D. Carswell and associated trusts)
want to ensure the long-term conservation of the traditional uses of
the land such as hunting and sustainable timber management, while
at the same time protecting the property from future development
pressures. Cypress Creek is adjacent to other protected lands,
forming an 18,000-acre corridor of protection from US Highway
321 to the Savannah River. The additional Cypress Creek property
contains historic features, including the Jessie Ives House, circa
1875, which is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places,
as well as remnants of the historic Two Sisters Ferry Road that dates
cypress creek
back to the early 1700s, which was utilized by William Bartram
during his explorations of South Carolina in 1775 and also served as
a strategic route across the Savannah River during the Revolutionary
and Civil Wars.
M. T. Laffitte Farm – 449 acres
Laffitte Farm in Hampton County is prominently visible by the
public from Augusta Stagecoach Road and Jericho Road, having
approximately 4,000 feet and 4,200 feet, respectively, of forested
frontage. The farm has been historically managed for sustainable
forestry, wildlife habitat, outdoor recreational activities, and
agricultural uses. It has a diversity of relatively natural habitats
including planted pine stands, forested wetlands, open fields, and
open water, all of which can support a variety of plant and animal
species. In its existing condition, the property contributes very little
nonpoint source pollution to the downstream network of wetlands
leading into Boggy Swamp. This is significant because the runoff
eventually flows to the Savannah River, and the watershed quality is
protected through the vast amount of forested uplands and wetlands
that provide for nutrient uptake and sediment deposition, as well
as the low percentage of impervious surface that reduces sources
of pollution and nutrient loading. The conservation easement was
donated by Monty Laffitte.
Roseland Plantation – an additional 80 acres
Roseland Plantation in Jasper County is the Huguenin family
plantation, and has been owned by the family almost continuously
since the Revolutionary War. The plantation is situated on Huguenin
Neck near the confluence of the Coosawhatchie, Pocotaligo and
Tulifiny Rivers. David and Deborah Huguenin’s
goal is to reacquire and restore Roseland’s historic
20,000 acre extent. The development potential of
waterfront land in this area is quite high, given
its location between Beaufort and Hilton Head,
in an area where residential subdivisions are now
appearing. To date, the Huguenins have generously
protected 822 acres of the historic landholdings
and they intend to preserve its historic and natural
character, as well as the wildlife habitat, while
allowing for traditional, sustainable uses of the
land. Planted longleaf pine, bottomland hardwood
forest, and mixed hardwood/pine forests contribute
to the conservation values of the plantation, creating
a diverse landscape essential to many wildlife
species.
17
Strawberry Hill – 62 acres
Situated along Euhaw Creek in Jasper County, with approximately
1,200 feet of water frontage, this property will assist with the longterm conservation of lands near Hilton Head and surrounding
areas. The terms of the conservation easement establish significant
buffers along the waterfront, limit the number of residences,
restrict impervious surface, and permit traditional agricultural
operations on the property. Ann Laffitte, who generously donated
this conservation easement, will manage the property to support
habitats ideal for migratory birds, shore birds and various nongame mammal species.
Winborn Asa Lawton Plantation – 1,318 acres
This Hampton County property is significant to the on-going
success of the Savannah River Preserve Conservation Program. This
program is designed with the goal of being the highest leveraged
and most significant public/private conservation initiative in the
history of South Carolina. The plantation is dominated by a
mixture of natural habitats, including forested wetlands, deciduous
uplands, planted pine and open fields, all of which can support
a variety of plant and animal species. Preservation goals include
enhancement of natural wildlife habitat, producing valuable
timber resources, and providing a wide variety of low-impact
outdoor recreational opportunities. Forest management practices
include reforestation, prescribed burning, removal of invasive
species, thinning operations, timber stand improvement activities,
and selective harvesting. Lawton O’Cain donated the conservation
easement.
2007
SANTEE COOPER LAKES FOCUS AREA
James Bell Property – 399 acres
This property is one more important piece in the mosaic of Bell
Family properties which sit adjacent to the Francis Beidler Forest.
The land has been in the Bell family for generations, and the
family is committed to securing the future of their lands through
conservation easements. These easements act as a buffer against
further development of the area around the Four Holes Swamp,
helping to preserve this ecologically significant area. The easement
program in the Francis Beidler Forest area was initiated in 2004 by
Audubon South Carolina, in partnership with LOLT. The James
Bell Property contains significant wetland ecosystems as well as
planted and natural pine, mixed uplands, and open fields, all of
which provide habitat for native game and non-game species.
OTHER COASTAL FOCUS AREA
Bamberg South –53 acres
Located in close proximity to other protected lands (including
Tibshrany Farm, protected by Ducks Unlimited, and Barnwell
State Park, protected by South Carolina Department of Parks and
Tourism), Bamberg South contains a diversity of natural habitats,
including planted pine stands and forested wetlands, which
support a variety of plant and animal species. It is visible from
Sykes Road, with approximately 350 feet of forested road frontage.
With the surrounding community primarily composed of rural
and agricultural land, it is hoped that the generous protection of
this property by Bill and Barbara Anderson will encourage nearby
landowners to consider similar conservation.
2007 easement donors who attended LOLT annual meeting: (l-r )Ted & Meemee Williams, Bill Anderson, Mike & Betsy Carroll, Van Noy

LOLT Stewardship
Stewardship is defined as “the careful and responsible management of
something entrusted to one’s care.” When the Lowcountry Open Land
Trust accepts a conservation easement, we agree to become partners with the
landowner in the perpetual protection of the easement property. This is what we
call stewardship, and it’s a vital part of our mission.
LOLT has a Stewardship Fund to ensure our financial ability to manage,
monitor and defend the terms of all our easements, as well as to defend our
ownership of fee-simple properties. Easement donors and LOLT members can
make designated contributions to our Stewardship Fund. These contributions

While membership contributions help in the day-to-day operations of LOLT,
enabling the conservation of more new acres each year, contributions to the Stewardship Fund ensure that sufficient
resources are available to safeguard our protected properties.
Writing and recording a new easement is not enough to protect the valuable lands of the Lowcountry. It takes
diligent stewardship to monitor and defend the terms of all our easement documents, particularly as the land changes
hands through the next generation, new owners and beyond. We appreciate your support of the Lowcountry Open

Land Trust and hope that you will consider making an additional contribution to our Stewardship Fund.
Partnerships
LOLT was a member of several par tnerships in 2007
Lowcountry Conservation Partners
Sponsored by the Donnelley Foundation
The Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation consistently
grants substantial support for conservation within the South Carolina Lowcountry. As a grant recipient, LOLT serves as a member
of their Lowcountry Conservation Partnership, in which we meet
regularly with Donnelley Foundation staff, board members, and
partner grantees to analyze, compare, and cooperate in strategic
conservation initiatives. The Donnelley grantees are coordinating
and streamlining our conservation across the Lowcountry. Grantee
partners include The Nature Conservancy, Ducks Unlimited, the
Coastal Conservation League, and the Southern Environmental
Law Center.
Lowcountry Conservation Partnership
Sponsored by the Lyndhurst Foundation
The Lyndhurst Foundation granted a 4-year program to LOLT,
Ducks Unlimited, The Nature Conservancy and the Coastal Conservation League to protect the critical watersheds and ecosystems
in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
Savannah River Preserve Conservation
Program
The South Lowcountry (“SoLo”) Task Force, in which LOLT
is a participant, is in the beginning stages of implementing a
landscape-scale conservation plan for the Savannah River Preserve.
This is a region of large tracts of rural land owned by relatively
few landowners. The partnership includes LOLT, The Nature
Conservancy, Ducks Unlimited, the South Carolina Department
of Natural Resources, and the State Conservation Bank. Each
partner organization reaches out to owners of property within the
defined area and, on behalf of the owner, seeks partial payment for
the conservation easement through the State Conservation Bank.
In 2008, LOLT protected over 5100 acres in SoLo, of which 4574
acres received partial payment. To date, the partnership has preserved over 40,000 acres, and has the prospect to protect 100,000
acres over the next few years.
Focus Area Task Forces
The success of public/private conservation along the coast of South
Carolina is dependant on the cooperation among all stakeholders who participate in the five Focus Area Task Forces. Each Task
Force was formed by local and national conservation organizations
to prioritize and strategize on their area’s protection. LOLT is a
member of all five of the Task Forces and has contributed greatly
20
to their overall successes. Below are the five focus areas which are
named for the watersheds they include, followed by the number of
acres that LOLT protected in 2007:
• CAWS (Cooper, Ashley, Wando and Sea Islands) – 3,920
acres
• SoLo (South Lowcountry) –5,114 acres
• Winyah Bay – 196 acres
• Santee Cooper Lakes – 399 acres
• ACE (Ashepoo, Combahee, Edisto) Basin – 758 acres.
We also worked with ACE Basin Task Force members in
partnership to monitor the proposed development of the
72,000 acre East Edisto tract.
South Carolina Land Trust Network
We continued to actively participate in this group of 20 local
and three national conservation organizations operating in the
state. The Network has been an invaluable source of information
and training, especially in light of the past two years’ sweeping
changes in conservation tax benefits, funding sources, and the
upcoming Land Trust Alliance accreditation. We participated
with the two other SC Land Trust Network members, the Edisto
Island Open Land Trust and the Kiawah Island Natural Habitat
Conservancy, in a land trust accreditation information seminar in
November.
Cooper River Partnership
This partnership held a series of meetings with landowners in
the region to advise them on voluntary ways to preserve the
rural nature and natural beauty of this important region in the
Lowcountry. This partnership resulted in 1,275 acres of new easement property for LOLT in 2007.
Audubon Partnership
This partnership helps preserve undeveloped land around the
Francis Beidler Forest and the Four Holes Swamp area. This
year’s partnership resulted in LOLT protecting 399 acres near the
Beidler Forest.
Ashley Scenic River Advisory Council
The mission of this council is to promote ongoing stewardship of
the Ashley River to protect and enhance its natural, cultural and
scenic qualities for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future
generations. The group is comprised of private landowners, conservation groups, and state and local agencies.

contribution to LOLT each year, until she realized in 2007 that her total gifts
had nearly reached $100,000. “No one was more surprised than I, but it made
