SUPPORT CONSERVATION

ANNUAL SPONSORSHIP - 2024/2025

ABOUT US

In the Charleston region you don't have to go far to see amazing scenic waterways, unique historic sites and the grandeur of nature in all its glory.

No matter where you live or visit in this region, it is all at your doorstep. However, it is so easy to take these places for granted assuming that they will remain. Our region is growing at an amazing pace, and while that’s good for our economy, it also means that we must be proactive to retain the special character of our home, our Lowcountry. At Lord Berkeley Conservation Trust, our mission is to conserve those uninterrupted stretches of scenic waterways, unique historic sites and natural areas, and protect family lands for future generations. Please consider joining us as partners in this endeavor by sponsoring our annual slate of events which in turn makes you a vital partner in our mission and work!

Lord Berkeley Conservation Trust is a nationally accredited local land trust working to conserve unique sites and places in partnership with our community, landowners, members, and partners. Join us as we endeavor to conserve what we value most!
