Congaree Land Trust Hosts author Billy Cate at Half-Moon Outfitters

Congaree Land Trust (CLT) will host a book sale and signing featuring noted conservationist and farmer Billy Cate whose new book, "The Farm —a family's relationship to its land," debuted over the summer to enthusiastic readers from the Midlands and beyond. Proceeds from the book sale and signing will benefit Congaree Land Trust.

Cate is a conservation easement donor, former CLT Executive Director and Board Member. Cate’s farm is roughly 1,250 acres situated near the Wateree River in the heart of the COWASEE Basin in Lower Richland County, and the book is an effort to tell the story of the massive landscape changes that have occurred from just after the end of the American Civil War to the present time, not just on Cate's land, but on farms across South Carolina and the Southeast.

For additional information or to purchase a copy of The Farm, contact the CLT office at (803) 988-0000 or visit the website congareelt.org.
