Protecting our Lowcountry Since 1971
2011
Annual
Report
The Beaufort County Open Land Trust
is a nonprofit organization that provides
landowners with a variety of options
for conserving sensitive and historic
land. To carry out its goal, the Trust
acquires strategically important
parcels of land, negotiates
appropriate agreements, seeks
supplemental financial support
for acquisitions, and promotes
public interest in and awareness
of the Lowcountry environment.
April 2012
Dear Land Trust Members,
Reflecting on the last year, it proved pivotal for the Open Land Trust. We
passed our 40th year mark, a milestone to be sure; but what stood out was how
we did it. Not quietly “business as usual”, but with aplomb and fireworks.
2011 Board of Trustees
We protected over 4,600 acres of land last year! Our little land trust has now
reached 19,700 acres protected in our beloved Lowcountry.
W. Dean Moss, President
We worked with individuals interested in leaving a land legacy, helping them
donate easements on properties throughout the Southern Lowcountry.
Edward Dukes, Secretary
Our partnership with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
allowed us to protect active working farmland, keeping farmers farming and
rural landowners on their land.
Patricia A. Denkler, Vice-President
Terry Murray, Treasurer
Dr. Eric Billig
Rachael Cram
Our partnership with the Department of Defense allowed us to protect land
which keeps our Marine Corps Air Station in business and our jets in the air.
Tom Crews
Our partnership, and work for Beaufort County allowed us to protect
critically sensitive land and rural land throughout northern and southern
Beaufort County.
Thomas A. Holloway
Our partnership with the City of Beaufort allowed us to provide input on
decisions about parks and open space.
Finally, we acquired Factory Creek Vista, an iconic view of the marshes, creeks
and the Beaufort River thanks to private donations and support from The City
and County which will create a new vista and park for residents and guests.
At the same time, we bid a sad good-bye to our former Executive Director,
Ann Bluntzer, whose energy, wisdom and insights helped the Land Trust
expand its conservation work throughout the region.
This organization, which started through the purchase of the Bay Street Bluff,
has evolved to a sophisticated land conservation organization using easements,
leveraged partnerships, grants, legacy bequests, and donations, in addition
to outright purchase of land as tools in its proverbial conservation toolbox.

This growth is exciting and we believe the opportunities are ripe to strengthen
our approach and refine our mission. We intend to do this thoughtfully and
thoroughly, building on the momentum of the last few years, and excelling at
what we do best: preserving land and building long-lasting relationships.

Factory Creek Park
he Open Land Trust, in partnership with Beaufort County and the City of Beaufort,
purchased land to reclaim the spectacular vista along Highway 21 and restore the view
of Factory Creek for citizens and visitors.
The property consists of four parcels and buildings, located at the base of the Woods Memorial Bridge
east of the Lady’s Island Boat Ramp. After one year, the buildings will come down and the area will
become a park with a public dock for crabbing and fishing.
The purchase of these properties was made possible due to a private donation to the Open Land Trust.
Additionally, the Beaufort County Rural and Critical Land Preservation Program and the City of
Beaufort provided additional funding to preserve this important site.
The Open Land Trust has a tremendous history of preserving scenic vistas of Beaufort County, such
as the Bay Street “Bluff,” Bellamy Curve entering the City of Beaufort, and Oyster Factory Park in
Bluffton.
We sincerely thank all who helped us make this project successful. We feel strongly the scenic beauty
of Beaufort is what creates a “sense of place” and makes our community so very special.
Rura l & C rit ica l La nd Update
I
n every respect, 2011 was a highly successful year for Beaufort County’s Rural & Critical Land
Preservation Program. As administrators, the Open Land Trust is proud of the Program’s success
past and present. Moreover, our staff is honored to work with a diverse group of conservation-minded
landowners to protect their property in perpetuity. Land protection is central to preserving our sense of
place and quality of life in Beaufort County, and the annual achievement of the Rural & Critical Program
is something for which residents should be proud. In a community rich with stories, this is a wonderful
tale to tell.
One of the Rural & Critical Program’s greatest strengths is its ability to provide for comprehensive
landscape-scale preservation across Beaufort County. In order to prepare for this natural resource-driven
process, staff spent the spring and early summer months prioritizing protection areas for seven Planning
Regions. Based on Beaufort County’s major river drainage areas, each Region captures a unique landscape
along with its own unique challenges and opportunities. The latter half of the year quickly translated this
effort into land preservation with successful projects in 6 of 7 Regions. By year’s end, the Program
protected 14 properties, conserving 2,816 acres of land. Making sure our partners pulled more
than their share of the weight, the Program brought in over $6.8 million in matching funding.
In the Program’s brief existence, 75 projects have protected over 20,000 acres – not bad for a decade’s
work. With a host of new partners in protection, and valuable opportunities continuing to surface,
we look forward to many more collaborative conservation outcomes in the coming years.
