Conserve

As South Carolina’s first conservation group, established in 1931, we’ve been safeguarding our state’s wildlife for nearly a century. We rely on proven scientific methods to protect and preserve the health of our delicate ecosystems, ensuring that wildlife across the state thrive for generations to come.

Advocate

We work tirelessly with state legislators and policymakers to defend vital wildlife habitats and ensure that decisions impacting our natural resources are grounded in solid scientific data. The more informed our policymakers are, the stronger they can advocate for South Carolina’s precious wildlife.
