help Assess Climate Change by Counting Bluebirds
Time for the Spring Climate Watch is approaching. Dates are May 15 - June 15. Now is a good time to review the Climate Watch information at Audubon.org. Please let Dale Scholfield know if you are able to your surveys or if you are interested in helping out.
Climate Watch is a community science program explores how North American birds are responding to climate change. |
Spring GardeningSpring gardening is a great time to add a few new native plants to your collection. Audubon has a great search engine for you to find plants native to our zip code here.
And while you are at it, now would be a great time to make a donation to Waccamaw Audubon. All donations received during April and May will go to help the nature education programs at Myrtle Beach State Park. |
Lewis Ocean Bay Safe for now!
On Tuesday night, Horry County Council voted to defer the rezoning for the Conway Medical Center parcel across from Lewis Ocean Bay Heritage Preserve to allow CMC time to discuss selling the property to the SC Department of Natural Resources. While the fight is not yet over, this puts us one step closer to a conservation outcome. We want to thank everyone who attended the meeting, wrote a letter to council, and signed the petition. We couldn’t have gotten this far without the support of the over 23,000 of you who have spoken up!
