Our first invitations for memberships were mailed in 1993. The Trust was awarded the 1996 National Land Trust Alliance Allen Morgan Award for Membership Development and support of land conservation. In just three years, the Trust's land conservation mission had attracted over 1,000 individual members in the Trust. In 1999, the Congaree Land Trust has over 1,600 members supporting our Central South Carolina land conservation efforts. We would not have been able to conserve open spaces or continue our work today with additional landowners toward conservation without our members' support and volunteer activities.
Volunteers are the backbone of a land trust.
Your volunteer assistance will always be welcome. We are equally proud of the corporate support the Congaree Land Trust has received over the past five years. Corporations respond to the Trust's land conservation goals because they understand the value their employees place on the quality of life that they have found in Central South Carolina. Over the past five years the Congaree Land Trust has been honored to receive various Grants to assist our land conservation goals. Our sincere gratitude is extended to each and every member of the Congaree Land Trust .
