<p>It's time to pull out spring soiree attire and enjoy "Brunch on the Bluff" to kick off a celebration of 50 years of the Beaufort County Open Land Trust.</p>

<p>On April 27, 1971, the Beaufort County Open Land Trust was formed, and in 1973 the Bay Street Bluff was officially purchased. The purchase of this property was the first for the Open Land Trust and led to other purchases under the herald “protecting the Bay Street Bluff,” which to date is one of the most iconic views in Beaufort.</p>
