Conserving Land. Honoring History. Building Legacy.
Collaborating Locally to Protect Beaufort’s Beauty
At BBOLT, we work to ensure the Lowcountry’s irreplaceable natural spaces and historic places remain protected and cherished today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit land trust, we partner with landowners, community members, and conservation allies to preserve what makes Beaufort truly beautiful.



Where Preservation Meets Purpose
Safeguarding the Natural Spaces that Define Our Region
Protecting land isn’t just about preserving nature’s beauty, it’s about maintaining the systems that support life in Beaufort. From historic live oaks to freshwater wetlands and key wildlife habitats, these areas are crucial for the Lowcountry’s environment and resilience. At BBOLT, we secure these lands forever with agreements that withstand development, policy shifts, and changes in ownership. Every acre saved means cleaner water, stronger ecosystems, and more open spaces for future generations.
Protecting the Places and Stories that Built Our Community
Beaufort’s heritage lives not only in its stories, but in the very land and buildings that shaped them. Historic homes, family farms, and culturally significant properties serve as living links to the people and events that define this region’s character. BBOLT works to preserve these places before they are lost to time or replaced by development. Through conservation easements and structure preservation, we help protect these irreplaceable pieces of the past so that future generations can walk the same ground and hear the same echoes of history that shaped our present.
Creating a Lasting Legacy through Land Conservation
Legacy is not just what we leave behind, but how we choose to make our mark. For landowners, a gift of land or a conservation easement is a powerful way to ensure that their values endure. It’s an opportunity to protect something permanent, meaningful, and beautiful. BBOLT helps individuals and families create a personal legacy rooted in stewardship, generosity, and a deep love for Beaufort. Together, we’re building a lasting imprint on the landscape. One that will speak for decades, even centuries to come.
