When you think of Kiawah Island, what comes to mind first? To
many of us it is the beautiful beach, to others it is the ever-changing
marsh, and to still others it is the quiet of the Kiawah River. If there is
one thing we can agree upon though, it is that we all cherish the
opportunity we have to see wildlife almost daily. Kiawah’s unique
setting allows native landscapes, wildlife, and people to coexist,
and it is our responsibility as part of this very special community to
protect this delicate balance.
The Kiawah Conservancy is committed to understanding the critical
natural habitat needed to maintain a healthy, balanced, and
diverse population of native plants and animals on Kiawah Island.
Its support of research, educational forums, community outreach,
land preservation, and habitat enhancement programs are but a
few examples of the Conservancy’s efforts to fulfill this commitment.
Thanks to each of you and your support, we have made great
strides and, with your help, the Kiawah Conservancy will continue
to preserve and maintain that which we all hold dear for our
enjoyment and for the enjoyment of generations to come. As we
celebrate what has been accomplished, we look forward to what
lies ahead.
