Upper Savannah Land Trust

Our Mission
Why you should join us

Protecting Our Valuable Lands For Future Generations.

The mission of the Upper Savannah Land Trust is to encourage and support conservation of natural and scenic lands, farms, forests, waterways, and open spaces on our eight-county area: Abbeville, Anderson, Edgefield, Greenwood, Laurens, McCormick, Newberry, and Saluda Counties in the upstate of South Carolina.

Food

Protecting our farms and forests from development helps ensure a safe and affordable food and fiber supply for a rapidly growing world population.

Clean Air & Water

Forests are giant air filters taking excess carbon dioxide from the air we breathe and turning it into life giving oxygen. Streamside grass and tree buffers help filter sediment out of water before it enters our rivers and lakes.

Land Protection

Many land owners love their land and want to be good stewards. They do not want to see it become a subdivision or a shopping mall. Placing a conservation easement on the land will help protect it from unwanted development in perpetuity.
