2022 Walterboro Wildlife Sanctuary - Master Naturalist Walk

Master Naturalist Newsletter Clipping

The Alumni from the Lowcountry Master Naturalist Association met in Walterboro on December 3 for a tour of the Great Swamp. Having graduated in the Fall of 2021 I was glad to lead this walk for fellow alumni, but in particular for those who had hosted me previously on other nature outings. The weather was just fine for our hike into the hardwood bottomland in search of wildlife and to learn about the braided streams that comprise the headwaters of the Ashepoo River in the ACE Basin. The boardwalk through the Beech Hill Trail allowed us to witness wood ducks, swamp chestnut oaks and free-flowing blackwater.
