Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The eclt foundation holds title to a property (thornhill farms) that was purchased with a grant, and a conservation easement was placed on the property immediately after by the east cooper land trust. There may be other transactions similar to this one at some point in the future. All operations with income and expenses are run the the east cooper land trust.

The eclt foundation is an organization which supports the efforts of lowcountry land trust by owning and managing land which has been protected to benefit people and the environment both now and forever.
