Who is the Kiawah Conservancy?
What Does It Do?
T
he Kiawah Conservancy is a grassroots organization established by
Kiawah Island residents in 1997 to preserve the natural habitat of Kiawah Island.
The Kiawah Conservancy is committed to:
• preserving natural habitat in perpetuity by acquiring undeveloped
property;
• accepting conservation easements on undeveloped land in perpetuity;
• stewarding properties that it owns and properties on which it has
accepted easements;
• providing the incentive, guidelines and support for property owners to
restore or enhance their landscaping in a habitat friendly manner;
• conducting and supporting research that helps maintain healthy
habitats and wildlife species, both resident and migratory, of Kiawah
Island;
• identifying and closely monitoring threats to Kiawah Island’s flora and
fauna and engaging with other Island entities to address these threats;
• providing educational opportunities for property owners, service
providers and visitors on a variety of topics including the benefits of
habitat preservation and improvement and how to protect and sustain
the wildlife and critical plant species found on Kiawah Island;
• providing extensive communications and information channels that
keep property owners and visitors aware of environmentally-focused
events; and
• partnering closely with Island organizations and businesses to foster
common environmental values and a shared vision for Kiawah’s
unique balance of nature and development.
Kiawah Island is a unique community where residents, visitors and
wildlife successfully coexist. The Kiawah Conservancy is committeed to
maintaining this balance through preservation, management and community
education.
