Join one of our staff members as he checks out two endangered plant species of the SC Sandhills and learn more about their life histories, distributions, ecological roles, and conservation statuses.
Caring for these rare plants through responsible recreation and stewardship is important, and this video will explain why.

Traditional land management practices involved the use of fire for thousands of years and were performed in a way that nurtured and cultivated the land. Contemporary land management practices involved fire exclusion and suppression for centuries.
