— “When we talk about population growth and people coming to South Carolina, we have to remember why they’re coming,” Tim Evans, ASC said. “They’re coming because of the climate and the natural history and the live oaks with the Spanish moss hanging in them, and the natural surrounding that they didn’t have where they came from. We can’t destroy the things that the people are coming for, in order to accommodate the people that are coming.”
— This conservation property, operated by Audubon South Carolina, borders the Savannah River approximately 20 miles south of Aiken. Not surprisingly, birds abound on the property and 215 species have been documented to date.
