As the Island is more populated with property owners and visitors , it has become necessary to develop and maintain programs of awareness of the special qualities of the Island and to encourage attitudes of care and a mindset for preservation . This will be the RSVP Kiawah program .
Finally , it is clear to all who aspire to the success of the new Strategic Plan that it is necessary to cultivate and achieve robust sustainable financial health to support the Conservancy ’ s new mission and vision . Alternate funding sources , including grants , will be pursued to provide for the program expansion . NK
To fulfill our mission and move toward the realization of our vision , we have identified the following strategies .
PRESERVATION AND STEWARDSHIP Continue to take a leadership role in preserving critical habitats of Kiawah Island and its environs .
RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT Restore and enhance Kiawah Island with a focus on local native plants .
ECOLOGICAL HEALTH Define , measure , and manage the ecological health of Kiawah Island .
PUBLIC AFFAIRS , COMMUNICATIONS , AND EDUCATION Engage and collaborate with area organizations , businesses , residents , and visitors .
ADVANCEMENT AND FUNDING Secure alternative sources of funding .
