We recognize that connecting people to the land, to each other, and to the places they love is the foundation for conserving our sense of place. One of the most strategic ways to do that is to build a corridor of continuous, protected land from the Ashepoo, Combahee, and Edisto (ACE) Basin to the Savannah River with interested landowners, community groups, and municipalities.

When Ashley Walker looks around at the produce harvested by local farmers she’s always amazed at the diversity of crops that go to market week after week. As the Farm Network Manager of the Gullah Farmers Cooperative, Ashley helps coordinate markets, connect farmers to the land, and provide resources through workshops and educational seminars.
