The Edisto Island Open Land Trust
is a local, non-profit organization formed to preserve and protect lands, scenic vistas, heritage, and conservation resources of Edisto Island, South Carolina for future generations.
We protect and preserve land by working with
land owners who voluntarily donate conservation easements on their land, or if necessary, by purchase.
   We are building an acquisition fund to buy easements or purchase critical land that we have been unable to protect otherwise. Purchased property will be restricted with easements in order to limit development, and resold to conservation buyers in order to replenish the acquisition fund.
