The Lowcountry Oyster Festival at Boone Hall Plantation is the kind of annual event that is almost a rite of passage for Lowcountry families. The dividends from time spent outdoors in a beautiful setting, while utilizing our natural resources, nourishes the Southern soul. The opportunity to recycle 45,000-pounds of oyster shell does not go unnoticed by the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) who will enlist an army of 150 volunteers to work from 10 to 5 on Feb. 2 to recycle all the shucked oyster shells.

Gary Keisler of Mount Pleasant is on the State Board of CCA and is their Habitat Chairman for South Carolina. “Recycling this much oyster shell at once is a conservation success story, but getting our youth involved in this hands on way is even more important,” said Keisler. “My self and many CCA members have been recreational anglers for decades, and we understand that oysters are an important component of the Lowcountry ecosystem. The Boone Hall oyster festival and CCA have partnered in this endeavor since 2009.”
