East Cooper Land Trust is a community-supported organization devoted to conserving land to benefit people and the environment both now and forever. Vision As we lead the conservation effort in East Cooper, we will: Identify and conserve land of environmental, cultural or historical value. Preserve the rural character of surrounding coastal communities. Enrich our urban and suburban community through collaboration by conserving land for people to enjoy such as parks, gardens and trails. Raise public awareness about the benefits of land conservation. As a non-profit, non-political organization serving communities between the Cooper and Santee Rivers, we rely on your financial support to sustain and expand our efforts.
