PLEASE attend Charleston County Council meeting and speak in support of the Lowcountry Open Land Trust’s application to receive greenbelt funds to purchase the 17-acre parcel immediately adjacent to the Angel Oak for use as a public park. We have worked so hard to save the Angel Oak and this Tuesday it is imperative that we show up to express how important preserving the Angel Oak is to this community!
Tuesday, July 16th
6:30 pm
Public Services Building, Council Chambers
4045 Bridge View Drive
North Charleston, 29405
Stand up and thank County Council for approving the application in their finance committee meeting and encourage them to approve LOLT’s application to purchase (and forever protect) the 17-acre parcel immediately adjacent to the Angel Oak.
If Johns Island thinks it is a good investment to develop over angel oak turf…. then my faith in the state has gone down. Not only is Angel oak an attraction for both tourists and residents, but it is our documentation of history. It provides a good source of clean air. There will be a great backlash if something happens to the trees. I support those who are trying to make sure it doesn’t happen. I am telling you, if that tree and the land around it gets paved over, or torn down or dug up, there will be a significant environmental backlash that no one wants to see.
