Hilton Head Island Land Trust, Inc.

The mission of the Hilton Head Island Land Trust is to preserve and protect critical natural habitats and significant historical parcels of land on Hilton Head Island for the enjoyment of future generations.

The Land Trust acquires land by donation, outright purchase, bequest, endowment, or most commonly, conservation easement. To date, the Land Trust protects approximately 300 acres encompassing critical and unique sea island habitat and a historic Civil War site. The three most significant properties are Whooping Crane Pond Conservancy, Cypress Conservancy, and Fort Howell.

For over 30 years the Land Trust has legally preserved and protected wetlands, green space, and historic properties on Hilton Head. Your support helps us to continue to monitor and maintain our properties and promote environmental awareness and local history to our island community, visitors, and tourists.
