At Coastal Roots Refuge, we believe the land holds stories. Whispered through the rustling of longleaf pines, carried by the tide, and etched into the soil by generations before us. Our mission is to conserve and protect the wild and working landscapes of the Carolinas while honoring the deep-rooted histories, traditions, and voices of the people who’ve called this place home.

Through community-centered storytelling, habitat restoration, and the creation of welcoming green spaces, we reconnect people to the land, not as outsiders, but as stewards, neighbors, and kin. From native wildlife to cultural lifeways, we are committed to preserving the past, protecting the present, and planting seeds for a more connected, equitable, and vibrant future.
