Angel Oak Preserve

Lowcountry Land Trust proudly stewards the Angel Oak Preserve initiative - a 10-year effort to unify an existing 9-acre city park with the surrounding 35 acres once threatened by insensitive development. The Charleston community celebrates the magnetic draw of the enormous, centuries-old tree known as Angel Oak - and Lowcountry Land Trust is working to highlight this immersive ambassador site for environmental conservation through the creation of Angel Oak Preserve.

The 44 acres surrounding the Angel Oak hold a diverse range of ecologies, all within the St. Johns Islands larger coastal ecosystems. Within the surrounding maritime forests are wetlands, elevated areas, and a mix of hardwoods and pine trees. Miles of boardwalks and trails will provide universal access to the preserve while protecting the more fragile ecologies. 

Angel Oak Preserve is not presently open, but stay up to date on progress and get ready to visit soon!
