OUR HISTORY

Hilton Head Island Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1987 for the purpose of protecting significant parcels of land on Hilton Head for the enjoyment of future generations.  The Land Trust consists of a 12 member all volunteer Board of Directors and dedicated members.  We have no paid staff and all operations are accomplished by our volunteer board and members.  

​

Every year beautiful and valuable open space is lost to development.  To address this situation, a group of concerned citizens founded the Hilton Head Island Land Trust.

​

For more than two decades, a small group of Hilton Head Island residents has experimented in time travel, attempting to transport people thousands of years into the past to a sea island untouched by man.
