Foster Fields
85 acres protected | Spartanburg County
Located just southeast of Spartanburg, Foster Fields is an 85-acre property permanently protected through a conservation easement with Upstate Forever. The property preserves forests, open fields, and scenic waterways while strengthening a growing network of protected lands near Croft State Park.
Project funders include the Upstate Land Conservation Fund.
Protecting Forests, Streams, and Scenic Open Space
Foster Fields encompasses a diverse landscape of mature hardwood forests, rolling open fields, and a pond fed by tributaries of Black Branch. Additionally, more than 2,700 feet of riparian habitat along Black Branch, Whitestone Spring Branch, and unnamed tributaries are permanently protected, helping improve water quality and provide habitat for native wildlife.
By permanently protecting this family-owned property, the conservation easement preserves scenic views, connects protected lands including the adjacent Croft State Park, and helps ensure these forests, streams, and open spaces remain part of Spartanburg County's landscape for generations to come.
