Welcome to Audubon South Carolina!
We encourage you to explore our website and learn what Audubon
South Carolina does . . . what's happening to birds and their
habitat in our state . . . and what you can do to protect
the places that birds and other wildlife call "home"
here in South Carolina.
We're blessed with a great diversity of birds across this
state, and whether you can recognize the call of a Swainson's
Warbler, or just know a Cardinal when you see one, we invite
you to investigate all that Audubon South Carolina has to
offer.
Discover what’s happening at South Carolina’s
Audubon Centers at Francis Beidler
Forest (outside Charleston, in Harleyville) and Silver
Bluff (in Jackson, near Aiken). These links provide information
on activities and upcoming events as well as directions and
contact information for each location. We’ll look forward
to your visit!

ASC
will be partnering with Charleston County Parks and
Recreation Commission (CCPRC) to lead a monthly bird
walk at Folly Beach County Park.
The beach offers a fantastic setting for beginner and
intermediate bird-watchers to learn more about birds.
Walks will be held on the second Friday of each
month between 10 am – 12 pm. The program will
be co-led by Audubon’s Jeff Mollenhauer and CCPRC’s
Keith McCullough.
There is no cost for the walk, but there is a $7.00
parking fee to enter the county park. Advanced registration
is required and space is limited. To reserve your spot,

or call 843-795-4FUN (4386).
