Little Fee Tract easement strengthens ACE Basin
February 13, 2025Lowcountry Land Trust announced the conservation of the Little Fee Tract, permanently protecting 314 acres in the ACE Basin. The fully donated conservation easement, with 1.77 miles of direct river frontage along Fee Farm Creek, adds to the nearly 14,340 acres of protected land along the Ashepoo River and its tributaries safeguarded by Lowcountry Land Trust.
This significant contiguous landscape also connects to the 8,048-acre Donnelley Wildlife Management Area and contributes to over 300,000 acres of conserved lands within the renowned ACE Basin conservation project area.
The protection of the Little Fee Tract was made possible through the generosity of J. Ashley Twombley and his wife, Carson. Conserving the Little Fee Tract continues the ACE Basin’s legacy of committed landowners who prioritize conservation and collaborate with public organizations.
