Lowcountry Land Trust adds acres to Caw Caw Interpretive Center

May 8, 2025

Lowcountry Land Trust announced the permanent protection of the 35-acre Holly Grove property, which will serve as an official addition to the Caw Caw Interpretive CenterĀ in Ravenel, South Carolina.

In collaboration with the Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission (CCPRC), this strategic acquisition expands public access to nature, enhances water quality, and ensures the long-term conservation of vital habitats in one of Charleston County’s most ecologically and recreationally valuable public spaces.

Previously at risk of development, the Holly Grove property was purchased by Lowcountry Land Trust, protected, and then transferred to the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission.Ā The Land Trust now holds and will monitor a conservation easement in perpetuity, partnering with CCPRC to ensure the long-term stewardship of a place that reflects the very best of the Lowcountry’s natural heritage.
