We are proud to announce that Dr. Anderson has placed a conservation easement on this property with the Kiawah Conservancy. This act ensures the permanent protection of 3419 Jenkins Freeman Road, Lot 9, preserving its environmental value and its historical, cultural, and spiritual significance. In this context, conservation becomes an act of justice— honoring ancestral legacies, protecting Blackowned land, and keeping the stories of families like the Freemans connected to the landscape.
