SARAH HARTMAN

Director of Land Protection

Sarah manages all aspects of the Land Protection program for the South Carolina Chapter. Through a staff of real estate practitioners, wildlife biologists, foresters, ornithologists and GIS expertise, the program implements a variety of conservation strategies recommended in the “conservation action plans” for each priority landscape (ACE Basin, Sewee to Santee, Winyah/Pee Dee, Southern Blue Ridge, and Savannah River Basin). These strategies range from cooperative acquisitions with federal, state, and local public partners; securing funding through eligible public funding programs offered by USFWS, NOAA, USFS, the SC Conservation Bank, and local Greenspace bond programs; negotiating partial interests in land through acquisition of conservation easements with private landowners; partnering on mitigation agreements; and collaborating with a variety of private conservation partners (both funders and land trusts) to develop new initiatives and programs to influence conservation patterns across the state.

Sarah has an education in land use and environmental planning (Mary Washington College and University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill), and has been with TNC since 1995.
