The award-winning Lowcountry Center for Conservation

Lowcountry Land Trust is proud to share that the Lowcountry Center for Conservation has received a prestigious Carolopolis Award from the Preservation Society of Charleston, recognizing the project’s outstanding contribution to thoughtful design in new construction. For the Land Trust, this honor reflects a vision of conservation, legacy, and community.

The award was presented during the 72nd Carolopolis Awards ceremony on February 27 at The Grand at 81 Mary, where the Preservation Society showcased 29 exceptional projects from across the region. Since 1953, the Carolopolis Awards have celebrated extraordinary efforts to preserve the historic character and authenticity of the Charleston area.

Receiving a Carolopolis Award places the Lowcountry Center for Conservation among a distinguished group of only 1,500 award-winning buildings that help define the region’s architectural and cultural legacy. The honor is also a tribute to the many supporters, including early donors to the It Can’t Wait campaign, whose extraordinary gifts made it possible. The Center stands as a lasting symbol of stewardship: a place where the past is honored, the land is protected, and the future of conservation in the Lowcountry continues to take shape.
