Legacy Live Oak Memorial Park

Live Oaks draped in Spanish Moss are one of the enduring images that encapsulates Edisto’s beauty. Massive Live Oaks once lined nearly all of the public road running through Edisto Island. The Edisto Island Open Land Trust’s vision was to restore the majestic Live Oak canopy that once enveloped the historic King’s Highway before the paving of Highway 174. Hundreds of trees have been planted along Scenic Highway 174, from the Dawhoo Bridge down to Fishing Creek. The program has been so successful that we have exhausted feasible planting locations along our National Scenic Byway.

Your $500 donation will now go toward either planting a tree on your Lowcountry property or enhancing the Legacy Live Oak Memorial Park. This includes having the name of your loved one added to the Memorial sign at the park. We will also recognize your memorial or honorarium at the annual Dedication Ceremony, that takes place each spring, and is open to the public. The Legacy Live Oak program provides a way to honor family and friends while contributing to Edisto’s beauty.

Each Legacy Live Oak Memorial Park donation is tax deductible as a charitable contribution. Each donor’s gift will be recognized and listed on our website.
