Conservation Director

The Congaree Land Trust was founded in 1992 by individuals committed to conserving the natural and scenic lands, farms, waterways, forests and open spaces that sustain us in central South Carolina. Since our inception, we have conserved over 98,000 acres, representing over 212 individual properties of priority conservation land and 2,400 acres for public recreation. In the heart of South Carolina, our focus is on conservation at the watershed level, supporting economic vitality, safeguarding drinking water and clean air quality and protecting our local quality of life.

Reporting directly to the executive director, the conservation director is a vital leader within CLT's acquisition team, responsible for managing new land acquisitions in alignment with CLT’s policies and conservation goals. The conservation director’s role encompasses overseeing fee land and conservation easement transactions, educating the public and partners on land protection, fostering innovative partnerships and exploring creative methods to secure long-term land and water protection.
