The Central Savannah River Land Trust is throwing a great party for a great cause on Thursday, Nov. 6, at its 344-acre Sugarberry Hill preserve at 712 Blanchard Road in Evans.
The “Sugarberry Bash” includes oysters, slow-roasted pork, music, cocktails and – most importantly – an opportunity to visit a unique wilderness that will remain intact and undeveloped for generations, according to a news release.
Gates open at 4 p.m. Tickets are $100 and can be purchased at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/the-sugarberry-bash or by contacting the Land Trust office.
Sugarberry Hill was a gift from Mrs. Laverne Dorn, whose family raised cattle and hay on the property since 1970 and where she later built her dream home, complete with formal English gardens, barns and other amenities.
After her death in 2022, it was donated to the Land Trust, a non-profit organization that helps landowners protect forests, farms, wetlands and open spaces that define our region’s character. To date. it has protected more than 10,000 acres throughout the central Savannah River basin, the news release said.
