Donate
By donating to the Lord Berkeley Conservation Trust, you’ll be supporting our work in the Ashley River Headwaters, Cooper River, Santee Basin, and Four Holes Swamp.
These watersheds represent more than two million acres of vital wildlife habitats, working timberlands, and family farms.
Given the growth pressures in our region, we have a short window of time to protect these rural ecosystems. Your gift will help us do exactly that.

WILL YOU HELP?
The race to save South Carolina’s most special places is on. Over 1.3 million acres have been lost to land use change in the past 40 years, and our State now leads the nation in population growth.
Every year we wait, more irreplaceable landscapes disappear. But when you support our work, you can help us save more land forever.
