The National membership organization known as the Masters of Foxhounds Association of America, bestowed a great honor on the three-year old Lowcountry Hunt fox hunting club based in the ACE Basin. On January 29 in Atlanta the 2009 Hunting Habitat Conservation Award was awarded jointly to Nina Burke (Joint Master of the Lowcountry Hunt) and Margaret P. Blackmer (President of the Board of trustees for the Lowcountry Open Land Trust). The award is given in recognition of significant and enduring contributions toward the preservation of rural countryside and its flora and fauna. The closing meet was hosted by the Limehouse family on March 13 at Airy Hall Plantation.
