Lowcountry Land Conservation Symposium
Lowcountry Land Conservation Symposium
Land conservation in the Lowcountry has always been a team effort. Since 2017, we have brought together representatives from land conservation organizations for full-day event to learn about current issues and best practices in land conservation. Each symposium features a deep dive into a topic area. Through keynotes, panel discussions, conversations, and breakout sessions, the symposium offers land conservation practitioners, community members, and local officials to engage deeply with key themes and one another.Â
2026 Lowcountry Land Conservation Symposium
Setting an Ambitious Agenda: The Power of Collaborative Land Conservation
May 12, 2026
South Carolina’s conservation success has been built over decades through partnerships — bringing together landowners, conservation organizations, public agencies and private-sector leaders to protect the landscapes that define our region. As the state sets ambitious goals to significantly expand protected land over the coming decades, collaboration across sectors and communities will be essential to meeting the challenge. The 2026 Symposium is positioned as a launch pad for these joint efforts.
