About this organization
Mission
To promote voluntary conservation of scenic lands, open spaces, farms, forests, natural areas and significant habitats in central South Carolina.
About
The Congaree Land Trust worked to conserve and preserve conservation easements totaling over 74,000 acres of natural and scenic lands, farms, waterways, forests, and natural areas in central South Carolina, by assisting landowners with voluntary conservation. The land trust works with private landowners to protect land primarily through establishing, creating, and monitoring perpetual conservation easements - recorded legal agreements that protect the land's natural and scenic features by restricting its use and development. The land trust holds the conservation easement and accepts responsibility for monitoring compliance with the terms of the easement and for defending the easement should the terms be threatened or violated. The Congaree Land Trust also provides education, training, conferences, events, and literature to its individual and corporate members and the general public to encourage conservation and appreciation of the natural and scenic areas in its area.
