To preserve and protect critical natural habitat and significant historical parcels of land on Hilton Head Island for the enjoyment of future generations.
Each year, valuable open space is lost to development, especially on the Sea Islands like Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. To address this, concerned citizens founded the Hilton Head Island Land Trust in 1987.
​
The Land Trust acquires land through donations, purchases, bequests, endowments, or most commonly, conservation easements. It currently protects about 300 acres, including vital sea island habitats and a historic Civil War site. Key properties include Whooping Crane Pond Conservancy, Cypress Conservancy, and Fort Howell. The Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
