Cheers to Beidler Forest

Have you seen Beidler Forest? Audubon South Carolina operates two wonderful centers: Francis Beidler Forest, and Silver Bluff along the Savannah River. The centers have educational and visitor programs to add to their natural resources.

Francis Beidler Forest, in Four Holes Swamp, is a 16,000-acre wildlife sanctuary. It features a boardwalk that is almost two miles long, through an old-growth cypress-tupelo swamp. South Carolina's Governor Mark Sanford proclaimed the week of November 30-December 6th to be Beidler Forest Week. This recognizes the Francis Beidler Forest, and applauds Audubon's efforts to preserve wetlands in the Palmetto State. Here's a tip of the hat - or, a raise of the binoculars to them! Let's put it on our must-visit list.
