Boeing donates $1M to Lowcountry Land Trust’s Angel Oak Preserve

The Boeing Co. donated $1 million to Lowcountry Land Trust, a preservation nonprofit for Lowcountry landscapes and waterways, in support of its Angel Oak Preserve project.

The preserve will serve as both a park and living museum, the land trust said. The donation brings the project’s funds to $6.9 million raised of the $16.5 million goal.

“Boeing has been a longtime partner and supporter of Lowcountry Land Trust, and is now the largest corporate contributor of the Angel Oak Preserve project to date,” Matt Williams, president and CEO of Lowcountry Land Trust, said in a news release. “Its initial donation of $100,000, followed by this $1 million investment, promotes our shared belief in balancing a rapidly growing region with community and landscape-scale conservation.”

The Angel Oak Preserve, which earned national recognition in 2025 as a designated community forest, will include 44 acres. The property also has been nominated on the National Register of Historic Places.

Lowcountry Land Trust considers the donation a symbol of corporate confidence in the preserve and the land trust.

“For more than 100 years, Boeing has believed in putting down roots in the communities where our teammates live and work,” Erin Fisher, senior manager of global engagement at The Boeing Co., said in the release. “With more than 9,000 teammates across South Carolina, we are proud to support the future Angel Oak Preserve and help ensure its extraordinary plans become a permanent community resource that generations can enjoy.”
