Desc	LAND PROTECTION: DURING FY21, THE LOWCOUNTRY LAND TRUST (LLT) COMPLETED 5 NEW CONSERVATION EASEMENT PROJECTS, FOR A TOTAL OF 3,006.96 NEWLY PROTECTED ACRES; ACQUIRED 2 FEE SIMPLE PROPERTIES TOTALING 1,047.73 ACRES; AND COMPLETED 1 AMENDMENT TO A CONSERVATION EASEMENT, FURTHER RESTRICTING THE EXISTING PROTECTED PROPERTY. ONE OF THE KEY PROJECTS IN FY21 WAS THE ACQUISITION OF MEYER LAKE, AN APPROXIMATELY 995 ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED ALONG THE SAVANNAH RIVER WHICH WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES TO BECOME A NEW WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. MEYER LAKE HAS APPROXIMATELY 3.5 MILES OF SAVANNAH RIVER FRONTAGE AND DIRECTLY ABUTS THE 31,551 ACRE SAVANNAH NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE AND A 22,780 ACRE UNBROKEN CORRIDOR OF MULTIPLE PRIVATELY AND PUBLICLY PRESERVED LANDS EXTENDING TO THE TILLMAN SAND RIDGE HERITAGE PRESERVE WHICH IS LOCATED JUST UNDER 20 RIVER MILES UPSTREAM. NEARLY 1 MILE OF THE NORTHERNMOST BOUNDARY OF THE MEYER LAKE TRACT IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO BEAUFORT-JASPER WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY'S (BJWSA) MAIN SOURCE WATER INTAKE CANAL. THE MEYER LAKE TRACT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A TRACT OF "HIGHEST PRIORITY" BASED ON A 2014 WATERSHED PRIORITY INDEX MAP PRODUCED BY THE NATURE CONSERVANCY WHICH PRIORITIZED LANDS BASED ON IMPORTANCE FOR WATER QUALITY PURPOSES. BJWSA PROVIDES DRINKING WATER TO OVER 150,000 RESIDENTS IN BOTH BEAUFORT AND JASPER COUNTIES, WITH THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF THAT WATER COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE SAVANNAH RIVER VIA THE CANAL ADJACENT TO THE MEYER LAKE TRACT. FURTHERMORE, THE CITY OF SAVANNAH'S MAIN SOURCE WATER INTAKE IS LOCATED LESS THAN 9 RIVER MILES DOWNSTREAM FROM THE PROPERTY. AS OF 2018, THE POPULATION OF THE CITY OF SAVANNAH WAS 145,862 RESIDENTS. CLEARLY, THE PERMANENT PROTECTION OF THE MEYER LAKE TRACT IS CRITICAL TO THE QUALITY OF SOURCE DRINKING WATER THAT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS AND VISITORS IN BOTH SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA DEPEND ON DAILY. DURING FY21, LLT SUCCESSFULLY DISPOSED OF FRENCH QUARTER CREEK, A PROPERTY PURCHASED BY LLT USING FUNDS FROM THE EAST BRANCH COOPER RIVER LAND FUND, WHICH WAS THEN PROTECTED WITH A CONSERVATION EASEMENT. THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THIS PROPERTY HAVE IMMEDIATELY REVOLVED BACK INTO THE EAST BRANCH COOPER RIVER LAND FUND FOR ADDITIONAL LAND CONSERVATION IN THE HISTORIC COOPER RIVER CORRIDOR, WHICH HAS BEEN THE FOCUS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CONSERVATION EFFORTS FOR DECADES. IN ADDITION, LLT HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN CONSERVATION PLANNING WITH CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS, THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, AND ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS AT THE STATE, REGIONAL AND LOCAL SCALES TO IDENTIFY CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITIES AND DEVELOP NEW AND CREATIVE TOOLS FOR LAND PROTECTION, STABILIZATION, MANAGEMENT, AND STEWARDSHIP. AMONG OTHER EFFORTS, THIS WORK INCLUDES CONTINUING THE JOHNS ISLAND COMMUNITY CONSERVATION INITIATIVE, A JOINT EFFORT WITH NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY'S COLLEGE OF NATURAL RESOURCES, THE COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE, THE OPEN SPACE INSTITUTE, AND THE CENTER FOR HEIRS PROPERTY PRESERVATION.

LLT CONTINUES TO MEET AS MANY LANDOWNERS AS POSSIBLE ON MONITORING VISITS TO ESTABLISH DEEP WORKING RELATIONSHIPS AND PROVIDE APPROPRIATE EDUCATION MATERIALS RELATED TO MANAGEMENT. STEWARDSHIP STAFF CONTINUE TO OVERSEE MANAGEMENT OF LLT'S FEE SIMPLE PROPERTIES: THE ANGEL OAK PRESERVE, ALGE ISLAND, HERON ISLAND, KEYSTONE, HYDE PARK PLANTATION, THE ASHLEY AND KIAWAH RIVER MARSHLANDS, WADMACON CREEK, THE MALLARD TRACT, SIMMONS CREEK, AND MEYER LAKE.

Desc	OUTREACH/COMMUNICATIONS: IN FY21, LLT DID NOT CONDUCT ANY SIGNATURE EVENTS DUE TO THE ONGOING PANDEMIC. A SPORTING CLAYS SHOOT ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR FALL 2020 WAS POSTPONED. SOME SPONSORSHIPS AND TICKET PURCHASES WERE DELAYED TO THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR, AND OTHERS WERE CONVERTED INTO SUPPORT FOR A VIRTUAL AUCTION. TO ENGAGE THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR IN JUNE, LLT HELD A SMALL "HAPPY HOUR" FREE OF COST TO OUR SUPPORTERS. NEW ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE SUPPORTERS WERE MADE THROUGH ENGAGING SOCIAL MEDIA AND MODIFIED NEWS POSTED ON THE LLT WEBSITE AND DIGITAL NEWSLETTER. A CROWDFUNDING EVENT WAS HELD IN MAY OF 2021 TO DRIVE NEW INTEREST IN LOWCOUNTRY CONSERVATION BY EXTENDING OUR NETWORK OF SUPPORT. NEW INFORMATION ABOUT PROTECTED PROPERTIES WAS POSTED EVERY DAY UNTIL OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL WAS ACHIEVED. ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMATIC PROMOTION WAS CONTINUED THROUGH REGULAR BRANDING WORK, WEBSITE UPDATES, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND (IN SOME CASES) PRINT COMMUNICATIONS.	Desc
