LOWCOUNTRY OPEN L AND TRUST
Message
from the President and Executive Director
Twenty-one years and going strong—that’s what we have to
report about the Lowcountry Open Land Trust as we move into
our third decade of working with landowners to help save the
Lowcountry landscape. Our 2006 operating year was successful.
We finished the year with a small operating surplus, added new
members, and most importantly, fulfilled our mission by adding
protected properties. Finally, we took a significant step in 2006
when the Board of Trustees decided to pursue partially-funded
easements, making use of relatively new funding sources at the
State and County levels.
We appreciate the support of our members, business, and
foundation donors who made it possible for us to make 2006
another great year.
The Lowcountry Open Land
Highlights of our 2006 operating year include:
m a r g a r e t p. b l ac k m e r
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.

L and Protection
• We received new easements on 15 new properties and two additions to prior easements, totaling 1,536 acres.
• Our 2006 easements were located in many different
Coastal Focus Areas: the ACE Basin, CAWS, CooperWando Initiative, Santee Basin, and one property outside
the focus area boundaries.
• LOLT now has 47,018 acres under protection.
• With sweeping enhancements to the tax laws regarding
land conservation, we co-hosted a well-attended seminar
on the new tax regulations led by nationally-recognized
expert Stephen Small. The seminar was made possible
by grants from the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley
Foundation and the Center for Humans and Nature.
• LOLT worked with the Lowcountry Chapter of the
South Carolina Association of CPAs to host a seminar
on the new tax regulations for over 70 CPAs, many of
whom said they will be working with clients to complete
conservation easements in 2007.
Development/Fundr aising/Membership
• We added 96 new individual members and 6 business
members.
• Our membership events and trips were well attended, and
we held new member outreach events East of the Cooper
and on Daniel Island.
• We surpassed our fundraising goals for individuals and
events, and several large foundation grant applications
were still pending at year’s end. For the second year in
a row, we achieved a 55%-45% ratio of funding from
foundations as compared to individuals, businesses, and
events.
Stewardship
• We monitored 100% of our protected properties.
• Our Stewardship Fund ended the year with a value of over
$1,000,0000.
Board of Trustees
• At the 2006 annual meeting, the members elected the
following new LOLT Trustees: Stuart McDaniel, Charles
Webb, and Rutledge Young Jr.
• Exiting Board members Barclay McFadden, Homer
Burrous, and former president Mike McShane were also
recognized at the meeting.
The past year has been very busy for the Lowcountry Open
Land Trust, including fifteen new properties under easement
totaling over 1,500 acres, new individual and business members,
and new faces on our staff, as well as at our Board meetings. As
we celebrate our accomplishments of the past year, we’re also
looking forward to the challenges and changes we’ll face in the
future.
We’ll not only see changes in the types and structures
of easements, but also we’ll see the pace of our organization
escalate, as awareness and incentives
increasingly bring more landowners looking
to preserve our Lowcountry in truly effective
and meaningful ways. Our staff is ready
for these changes! They’ve worked hard to
prepare themselves for a productive and
active 2007 and beyond, and our Board fully
supports their efforts.
As I (Demi) step down as your Board
President, I’m confident that the staff at
Lowcountry Open Land Trust, inspired
John B. “Demi” Howard
by the leadership of our Board and its
new President, will meet and exceed all
challenges that are ahead. Thank you for the
opportunity to be a part of this exciting and
dynamic ­organization. President, Board of Trustees

H i tt i ng Ou r S t r i de
This annual report shows easements concluded in 2006, but that doesn’t reflect
the entire story of our activity last year. In fact, 2006 was the beginning of perhaps
the most active period of land conservation in our history.
This is due to two factors: first is the Lowcountry conservation spirit, led by 183
landowners who have left a living legacy by permanently protecting their property.
The second factor is the favorable tax incentives that were included in the 2006
Pension Protection Act. These tax changes increased the deduction for donating a
conservation easement from 30% of a landowner’s income to 50%, while qualifying farmers and ranchers could deduct up to 100%. It also increased the number of
years a donor could use those deductions from 6 to 16 years, and it included sensible
reforms that affected the appraisal process for donated property, while tightening the
rules for easements on historic buildings.
Because these favorable tax incentives are scheduled to revert to the former percentages at the conclusion of 2007, the Lowcountry Open Land Trust experienced
a tremendous surge in easement interest, and, as a result of the groundwork laid in
2006, we forecast 2007 to be the most productive year in our history. That’s great
news for conservation and especially for future generations of Lowcountry residents.
Students in the Environmental Science and
Marine Science classes at West Ashley High
School spent the day with LOLT Conservation
Planner Lisa Wilson in the Francis Beidler
Forest. Guided by Norm Brunswig, State Director for Audubon South Carolina, the students walked through the old-growth swamp
habitat, learning about conservation efforts in
the Four Holes Swamp Watershed and LOLT’s
role in working with private landowners to
help save the Lowcountry landscape around
the Beidler Forest.
Membership Spring Picnic 3/11
The annual picnic was hosted by Tony Merck
at his scenic property, Ashe Point, on Yonges
Island. Nearly 300 members and guests
enjoyed the beautiful day, with oysters and
barbeque, boat rides on Toogoodoo Creek,
hay rides around the property, music from the
Cavellaro Orchestra, and presentations by the
International Center for Birds of Prey. Children were entertained by a clown, face painting, and other games around the property. Mr.
Merck donated a conservation easement on
Ashe Point in 2002, protecting 301 acres of
Lowcountry
landscape forever.

Program 6/27
Our members and guests left from Bennett’s Point for a day of fun and learning
aboard the Marine Resource Department
Boat.  Discovery took the group to Otter Island where
everyone enjoyed
a picnic lunch and
beach walk, and
then trawled down
the waterways to
sample some of the
species that live
in the ACE Basin. Otter Island is best
known for its abundance of wildlife and is
an optimal place for species to rest, feed,
and reproduce without development pres-
sures.
Daniel Island Reception 7/27
This event was open to Daniel Island
residents to educate them about the mission of the Lowcountry Open Land Trust
and how they could get involved. Held at
Wadmalaw Boat Trip 6/07
LOLT sponsored this outing for members

Leadenwah Creek where some of our easement properties are located. Lewis Hay,
Director of Land Protection and Wadthe beautiful Pierce Park Pavilion, over 60
people attended the reception, which was

and post-mortem conservation easements. The seminar was
sponsored by the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelly Foundation
and the Center for Humans and Nature, and was presented
through a collaborative effort by the Mt. Pleasant Open
Space Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, The Nature Conservancy, the Coastal Conservation League, and the Southern
Environmental Law Center, and LOLT.
CP A S e m i n ar 11/30
LOLT led a professional education seminar for 71 Certified
Public Accountants from across the Lowcountry at the Town
and Country Inn. As over half the CPAs in attendance indicated they had clients or expected to have clients donate an
easement, many landowners and countless acres of undeveloped Lowcountry land benefited from this presentation. The
seminar was especially timely given that the tax provisions
have resulted in 2007 being the busiest year for conservation
in history.
LOLT was a member of several partnerships in 2006, in addition
to our participation as a member of all the Coastal Focus Area Task
Forces:

Lands Protected in
In 2006 the Lowcountry Open Land
Trust added 15 new protected
properties and 2 additions to existing
easements, totaling 1,536 acres. S a v a n n a h R i v e r Pr e s e r v e
The South Lowcountry Task Force, in which LOLT is a participant,
is in the beginning stages of implementing an effort that begins at the
southern edge of the ACE Basin and goes west to the Savannah River
and north to the Midlands. Partners include The Nature Conservancy,
Ducks Unlimited, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and the South Carolina Conservation Bank.
Audubon
LOLT continues this long-lasting relationship to preserve land in and
near Four Holes Swamp and Audubon’s Francis Beidler Forest.
Ashley River Historic District
LOLT is part of a broad partnership to preserve the land in Charleston
and Dorchester counties, from the Ashley River to Rantowles Creek.
Partners include Ducks Unlimited, the Coastal Conservation League,
The Conservation Fund, The South ­Carolina Conservation Bank, the
South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, The Nature Conservancy and Dorchester County.
With these easements, the Land Trust
now has 47,018 preserved acres in
South Carolina. The following is a
brief summary of the 2006
conservation projects and the
properties they protect.
2006
ACE Basin Focus Area
Hickory Bluff – 29 acres
Hickory Bluff sits along a bluff of the Edisto River with approximately 800 feet of uninterrupted river frontage, which leads
into a cypress swamp preserve. The relatively natural habitats on
Hickory Bluff include mixed upland forest, isolated ponds and
wetland depressions, as well as an ample network of open fields
and pasture. The property has historically been utilized for agricultural activities, equine uses, residential purposes, and various other minimum impact outdoor recreational activities. The
landowners, Ken and Sandra Jones, have a vision of protecting
the conservation values of the property, while at the same time
allowing for traditional agricultural and residential uses of the
property. The conservation goals and objectives of the landowner will be achieved
through the restrictions and limitations
set forth in the conservation easement.
As Hickory Bluff is in proximity to other
Land Trust protected properties in the
ACE Basin Focus Area, hope is that its
protection will help to further the protection effort along the Edisto River and
within the larger ACE Basin watershed.

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; over 47,000 acres through the Lowcountry
Open Land Trust alone.

LOLT Stewardship Programs
With each new easement that is signed and recorded, LOLT’s steward­
ship program and responsibilities grow. During the 2006 calendar year, LOLT
was responsible for enforcing protection on 168 properties covering over
45,000 acres of marshland, farmland and forestland. When LOLT accepts a
conservation easement, we agree to become partners with the landowner and all
subsequent owners in the perpetual protection of the easement property.
The conservation easements LOLT accepts can only be effective for the
longterm if the restrictions and limitations outlined within the documents are
maintained and enforced. Conservation easements alone can not protect the
valuable lands of the lowcountry, LOLT’s stewardship program must implement
our commitment to monitor, defend and enforce the terms of all our easement
documents. This also goes hand and hand with our obligation to safeguard
those lands which have been trusted to us in fee simple ownership. In order to
fulfill these stewardship responsibilities, the stewardship staff must perform
annual inspections (monitoring visits) to each protected property to ensure
the continued compliance with easement terms and to record any observable
changes. Conservation easement enforcement is crucial to the success of any
land trust and without diligent monitoring and follow-through, LOLT’s
easement program would not succeed.
LOLT’s stewardship staff also serves the vital role of communicating and
interpreting the terms of LOLT’s conservation easements to landowners and
other third parties involved in the management or oversight of our protected
properties. Questions and other issues related to interpretation of easement
terms are continually arising and will continue to rise due the perpetual nature
of our conservation easements. LOLT believes that our protection and
enforcement is strongest when both landowners and LOLT are committed to
conserving the integrity, intent and purposes of our conservation easements.
LOLT has an established Stewardship Fund set aside to ensure our
financial ability to manage, monitor and enforce the terms of all our
conservation easements, as well as to defend our ownership of fee simple
properties. And with adequate funding from easement donors, landowners,
and other LOLT members, we can ensure that the Stewardship Fund has
sufficient funding to protect all our properties properly without having to
jeopardize other land protection projects or programs. Stewardship goals for 2006 included 100% completion of all
monitoring activities on LOLT protected properties; this goal was achieved
by year’s end. The same goal of 100% is also in existence for 2007. Lands Protected in 2006
CAWS Basin Focus Area (Ashley River Initiative)
Indigo Oaks – 176 acres
Situated along the Four Holes Swamp just outside the town of
Ridgeville, Indigo Oaks provides ideal, natural habitats for various birds, deer, turkey, reptiles, amphibians and other wildlife
species. The name Indigo Oaks originates from when indigo
was grown there, and landowner Edsel Taylor has re-introduced
indigo on the property in
hopes of re-establishing a
part of that indigo history.
Indigo Oaks is characteristic of the surrounding
rural community, composed of numerous forested wetlands (cypress and
gum ponds), open fields
for wildlife management,
planted loblolly pines and open water. The Land Trust worked
in partnership with the Audubon of South Carolina to secure
this easement, and hopes it leads to additional easements from
neighbors in the Four Holes Swamp watershed.
Gun Bluff – 109 acres
With over three thousand acres of property protected by the
Land Trust between the Toogoodoo and Edisto Beach, the addition of Gun Bluff is significant to helping preserve and secure
the rural character of Edisto for future generations. Gun Bluff
is situated on a bluff overlooking Milton Creek and is composed
of open fields, isolated wetlands, oak groves and mixed upland
forests. Primary management objectives are for enhanced wildlife habitat and productive timber stands. The Edisto area is experiencing increased residential development so it is hoped that
protection of this property will encourage nearby landowners
to consider the protection of their land as well.
CAWS Basin Focus Area (Sea Islands Initiative)
Rosebank Estates Lot VIII – 22 additional acres
This 22 acre easement along the Bohicket Creek on Wadmalaw
Island and is one of a series held by the Land Trust. Rosebank
Estates is an historic cotton plantation situated between Retriever Road and Bohicket Creek, with approximately 3,000 feet of
creek frontage.
This
marks
the
fourth piece
of protected
8
land in Rosebank Estates, with 96 of the nearly 200 acres now
permanently protected, and the remaining 4 lots to be eased in
the future. This piecemeal conservation project is unique in that
each lot is protected by nearly identical restrictions, including
1,400 feet of vegetated buffer along Retriever Road and 100 feet
along Bohicket Creek. These restrictions will help preserve the
natural habitat and scenic views of the entire property, as well as
allow continued traditional uses such as recreation and sustainable timber management.
Brambleberry – 19 acres
With pastures and open fields for horses, the Brambleberry easement will protect the agricultural nature of Wadmalaw Island
for both present and future generations. The property, owned
by Carol Ervin and Bailey Bolen, has approximately 900 feet
of water frontage along the
Leadenwah Creek and 400
feet along Maybank Highway. The easement permits
continued agricultural and
traditional residential uses
of the property, with limitations and restrictions on
the number of subdivisions
and impervious surface.
Holmfridur – 12 acres
Holmfridur marks the sixth Land Trust easement on James Island, and its location along the significant waterway of Parrot
Point Creek makes this tract worthy of protection. The open
fields and maritime forest fringe along the waterway is ideal habitat for song birds, wading birds, migratory birds, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians. The current owners, Bill and
Hildur Schmidt, plan to create
a recreational and residential retreat for their family and guests,
as well as enhance the existing
natural habitats for native wildlife species. The conservation
easement establishes a 75-foot
buffer along Parrot Point Creek,
limits the number of residential
structures, restricts the amount
of impervious surface, and allows for defined agricultural uses
of the protected property.
Miller Tract – 9 acres and Dogwood Ridge – 10 acres
The Miller Tract, owned by Marshall and Patricia Miller, and
Dogwood Ridge, owned by Dogwood Ridge
Properties, are two contiguous properties that
lie within the Ashley River Historic District,
which is a designated 13-mile district along
the Ashley River and Ashley River Road that
has a unique natural beauty and rich cultural
history. The Ashley River Historic District
is listed in the National Register of Historic
Places, and 22 miles of the Ashley River is designated a South Carolina Scenic River. Both
properties support a significant community of
floodplain forest along the river frontage, with
a vast diversity of bottomland species. A boardwalk through this
floodplain forest enables the owners to enjoy the scenic beauty
of the forest and river. And with increased public interest in the
Ashley River Corridor, there is anticipation that these easements,
along with the Land Trust’s other protected properties, will help
continue the evolving conservation ethic of the area.
CAWS Basin Focus Area (Cooper/Wando Initiative)
The Cooper River Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, encompasses over 30,000 acres of land
centered along the East Branch of the Cooper River. It contains
a remarkably intact historic and cultural landscape, including archaeological features dating back to the eighteenth, nineteenth,
and twentieth centuries. In 2006, the Land Trust signed an additional 851 acres under permanent protection as part of a collaborative initiative within the East Branch of the Cooper River area
to permanently protect the large plantation tracts from increasing
development pressures.
Girl Scout Plantation – 153 acres
Formerly known as Richmond Plantation, this property is listed
on the National Register of Historic Places and contains unique
historic features including a manor house and outbuildings, a
cemetery, and various archeological features associated
with the eighteenth and nineteenth century rice culture.
The property was originally
developed by Colonel John
Harleston in the second half
of the eighteenth century, and
the house was passed down through his family, and then was
sold in 1896 to J. Sinclair White. Mr. White sold the plantation
to George A. Ellis, Jr. in the 1920s when it became a hunting
lodge. After Mr. Ellis passed away in 1956, his children sold the
property to West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company (Westvaco),
who in turn sold the 153 acre portion surrounding the manor
house to Carolina Low Country Girl Scout Council in 1963. The
Manor House was constructed circa 1927 and features architectural elements unique to the area. The graves within the existing
Harleston-Rutledge cemetery date back to 1793, and the original
Richmond Plantation owner and his family are laid to rest in the
cemetery. Reorganization within Girl Scouts of the USA nationwide spurred the Carolina Lowcountry Council to take quick
action in conserving the camp, in case the reorganization might
lead to selling the property at some point. The conservation of the
Girl Scout Camp fills the hole of the surrounding 10,697 acres of
the state-protected Bonneau Ferry tract and protects additional
water frontage along the East Branch of the Cooper River.
Longwood Plantation – 141 acres added, total now 377 acres
Once known as Pompion Hill Plantation, this property was home
to one of the wealthiest French Hugenots in the colonial times.
During the Revolutionary War, the plantation was in the vicinity
of a battle in which the
Patriots surprised the
British at a location near
Quinby Creek, referred
as the “Raid of the Dog
Days.” The name of the
property was changed to
Longwood Plantation in
the 1800s, and it’s still
known today for its live oaks, pristine pastures, polo field, historic ricefields, mixed forests, and open water. Easement donor Robert Lockwood is an avid polo enthusiast and has devoted much of
his time and land to this pursuit, while at the same time managing the forests and wetlands to improve wildlife habitat and to
enhance the natural beauty. Mr. Lockwood has also established
a conservation-based event venue for rent on a magnificant bluff
overlooking the East Branch of the Cooper River.
Silk Hope Plantation – 557 acres
Silk Hope Plantation was first owned by Colonial and Governor Nathaniel Johnson, who, in 1696, received a grant of 1,940
acres and later added to those holdings over 5,000 acres. Governor Johnson experimented with both silk production and rice
culture into the 1700s and was responsible for the construction
of various Anglican churches, most notably the Pompion Hill
Chapel on the East Branch of the Cooper River. After his death,
Lands Protected in 2006
the property passed to his
son Robert Johnson, who
also became Governor of
the colony. The plantation
would later come under
the ownership of the Manigault family for the most
of the nineteenth century.
The grave site of Governor Johnson is still present on the Plantation. The name Silk Hope refers to the early concept of producing
non-native mulberry trees to produce silk from caterpillars. Today
the Plantation, which is owned by Robert Royall, is managed primarily for timber resources and enhanced wildlife habitat.
Hanlin Tract – 32 acres and
Awendaw Creek Cottages – 13 acres
The Land Trust worked in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy to protect 45 acres along Awendaw Creek. Combined,
these two properties stretch approximately 3,000 feet
along the creek,
with marsh and
highland communities that provide
habitat for a diversity of wildlife species. The properties also lie within the proclamation boundaries of
the Francis Marion National Forest and are in close proximity to
other protected lands in the Awendaw and McClellanville areas.
The Hanlin tract easement was donated by Bob and Lynn Hanlin,
and Awendaw Creek Cottages was donated by Bob and Debbie
Edmonds.
Hell Hole – 93 acres
The name Hell Hole does not do justice to this forested tract in the
Francis Marion National Forest. Hell Hole Swamp and Hell Hole
Bay are what gives this protected property its name and natural
characteristics. Located at the Farewell Corner crossroads, Hell
Hole is owned by Arthur and Ric Ravenel. The property boasts
numerous forested wetlands,
mixed pine/hardwood forests,
open water, open fields (pastures),
and cypress swamps. The objective is to respect the natural occurring communities and ecosystems found throughout and only
engage in forest management activities when necessary to improve
2006 donors
wildlife habitat or salvage timber after a natural phenomena. The
restrictions placed on the forest management are consistent with the
US Forest Service management goals of the neighboring Hellhole
Bay Wilderness Area within the Francis Marion National Forest.
Santee Basin Focus Area
Hopsewee Plantation - 37 additional acres, total now 58 acres
Donated by Frank and Raejean Beattie, Hopsewee Plantation sits
on the gateway to Georgetown County and the Santee River Delta.
Hopsewee Plantation was owned by Thomas Lynch Sr., who was
elected to the First and Second Continental Congress, and was the
birthplace of his son, Thomas Lynch Jr., who was elected to the
Second Continental Congress and signed of the Declaration of Independence. Hopsewee Plantation was also one of the first properties
to be listed as a National Historic Landmark, and the Hopsewee
Plantation house is listed upon the National Register of Historic
Places. The original plantation house and two slave cabins are still
present on the property and are managed for tourism and historical
purposes. The timber resources range from natural pines, to mixed
hardwood, to open live oak groves. The scenic views of the North
Santee River and Highway 17 buffer will be forever protected by
buffer restrictions, as well as the historical and cultural resources of
the Plantation.
Crocker Tract – 82 acres
This tract, which is owned by Don and Christina Crocker, sits at a
crossroad between McClellanville and the Francis Marion National
Forest. The Crocker Tract also lies
in the same neighborhood as other
Land Trust protected properties,
as well as a number of Ducks Unlimited and Nature Conservancy
easements. It is managed primarily for wildlife habitat and outdoor
recreational activities. The property
is dominated by wildlife management areas, mixed pine stands, including pockets of longleaf pine, with hardwood drains running
throughout the property. An open pond serves as ideal habitat for
various aquatic species and as a stopping place for various waterfowl
species.
Lands Outside Established Focus Areas
Neeses Tract – 42 acres
Located just outside Orangeburg near the town of Neeses, this parcel possesses significant timber and wildlife values that are essential
to the preservation of the area. Donated by the Trust Agreement
of Barbara S. Anderson, this tract boasts stands of planted loblolly
pine, longleaf pine and natural bottomland hardwoods. The surrounding community is primarily rural and agricultural.
