Protecting Jasper County’s History, Culture, and Ecosystem

Victory for the Euhaw District: Tickton Hall Annexation Rejected 4–1

We’re proud to share that the Ridgeland Town Council has voted 4 to 1 to reject the annexation and high-density development of Tickton Hall. This marks the second major development proposal we’ve help stop in our effort to Keep Chelsea Rural.

Earlier, we stood together to stop the Chelsea development. Now, we’ve once again protected the Euhaw District—its tidal creeks, historic land, and quiet rural character—from being lost to sprawl from the Tickton Hall development.

This is what happens when a community stands up.

• Residents packed the room.

• Neighbors spoke with courage.

• Together, we defended what matters.

And it worked.

We’re Not Alone — The Lowcountry Is Rising

Just across the river, Beaufort County recently voted to protect Gullah Geechee communities from displacement and overdevelopment. That same spirit lives here in the Euhaw District—a place rooted in rural culture, history, and natural beauty.

These lands are not just properties. They are heritage, habitat, and home.

Our Mission Is Working — And It’s Just Getting Started

We’ve shown that local voices can protect rural lands from powerful outside interests. But more proposals will come, and we must stay watchful and ready.

Thank you for standing with us. Let’s continue the work to Keep Chelsea Rural.
