▪ Norfolk Southern has expanded protection of ecologically significant land in South Carolina’s coastal plain through a conservation easement and a wetlands restoration project.

Norfolk Southern will restore 290 acres of historic pocosin wetlands at its Brosnan Forest timber and wildlife preserve near Dorchester, 35 miles northwest of Charleston. The site will be managed as a wetland mitigation bank that could be used by developers and government agencies to offset loss of wetlands associated with business development in the region. A conservation easement donated by the company to the Lowcountry Open Land Trust – now known as Lowcountry Land Trust – will permanently protect the acreage as wetlands and restore its hydrology to natural drainage patterns.

The agreement builds on a partnership established in 2008, when Norfolk Southern protected 12,488 acres at Brosnan Forest through a conservation easement granted to the Lowcountry Land Trust – thought to be the largest ever given by a corporation in South Carolina and one of the largest in the Southeast. This second donation results in 12,778 acres at the forest under permanent easement protection.
