The Open Land Trust is proud to partner with Beaufort County in Rural and Critical Land Preservation. Since 2000, The Beaufort County Rural and Critical Land Preservation Program has preserved over 17,000 acres for conservation, parks, buffers, scenic vistas and for preservation of valuable economic and natural resources.  The County has acquired land via an ordinary fee simple purchase or by a purchase or donation of development rights, which often allows the property owner and his family to remain on the land and use it for farming, hunting, fishing or other historic purposes agreed upon at the time of sale.
