LOWCOUNTRY LAND TRUST PROTECTS VITAL LAND WITHIN ASHLEY RIVER HISTORIC DISTRIC
Conservation easement will provide invaluable benefits for national scenic byway and state scenic river.
CHARLESTON COUNTY, SC – Lowcountry Land Trust announced today the permanent protection of 33 acres on the Ashley River in the heart of one of South Carolina’s most iconic landscapes, the Ashley River Historic District. The three properties making up the site are owned by members of the Carter family and are each bounded by the District’s national scenic byway and state scenic river
The properties are part of a growing network of protected lands in the Historic District, which in 2018 was named by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as a “National Treasure” and one of the nation’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places
Located in the Cooper, Ashley, Wando, and Stono (CAWS) conservation focus area of South Carolina, the protection of these properties will provide invaluable ecosystem services, such as the enhancement of downstream water quality and the protection of natural and biologically diverse habitats in the Ashley River watershed. In addition, the conservation easements will forever protect the scenic views of the property from the state scenic river and the national scenic byway and contribute to the protection of a 25,000-acre historic landscape that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
“We are grateful to the Carter family for the many public benefits that come from protecting their ecologically and culturally rich properties along the beautiful Ashley River and Ashley River Road,” said David Ray, Chief Conservation Officer of the Lowcountry Land Trust. “The project’s completion demonstrates the vigor conservationists and landowners continue to bring to saving this nationally significant place in South Carolina’s Lowcountry.

If you never took an economics course in college, you may think the surge in population in the Lowcountry translates to a booming economy, but the recent rash of restaurant closings and staggering growth for other businesses paint a very different picture.
In fact, we may be struggling worse than it appears. From restaurants to retail to galleries, the financial health of our local businesses may be getting hurt by the growth in the Lowcountry
Here are a few reasons we feel things could get worse before getting better.
When you take a step back and look at these seven factors along with other underlying issues, we believe more people does not mean a healthier economy. As you think about Tuesday’s election and beyond, put thought into what you want you home to be and begin to have the right conversations.
Through its gracious welcome, alluring locations, and delicious Lowcountry food, Beaufort exudes its unmistakable Southern charm.
Between Charleston and Savannah, the small city of Beaufort has over 150 eateries that cater to both hungry locals and tourists.

Some of you may know Dallas from his coastal expeditions, while others embrace his passion for music while enjoying a local craft, but to know Dallas and how he has translated his passions into a sense of community is a gift all its own.
When you hear Dallas put you in a good Southern mood while chilling by the bonfire at Smoke & Brew you know this is home. He charismatic style and eclectic mix of music set the mood for a night of good vibes.
I’ve often thought, a Dallas Baker show is a place where friends come together, and worries are left behind.
The music is where it stops for most of us; yet there is so much more to this ambassador of the Lowcountry. Dallas has collaborated and promoted more musicians than most of us knew resided here and his love for conservation and sharing of the coastal beauty is spirited and warm.
The thing about Dallas is that he does not want you to just be in the crowd enjoying the music and high seas; he wants you to become part of his ecosystem sharing in his life and passion. Recently engaged to a fellow musician, Dallas is evolving into another renaissance of self-discovery as he enters a new chapter in his life and there is room on this train to tag along.
Take it from this music fan and dreamer, catch a show, talk to Dallas and become a part of his journey. If you ask Captain Dallas Baker if he has room for more friends, I am certain he will say an enthusiastic yes.
