Conservation in South Carolina

Our work in South Carolina, protecting birds and the places they need.

Audubon South Carolina works to protect South Carolina's birds and the places they need. Through research, habitat protection, restoration, and management, policy and advocacy, and outreach and education. We own and manage over 30,000 acres across the state. 

Together with our conservation partners, supporters, and Audubon members here in South Carolina, we are working to bend the bird curve and restore habitat and bird populations from the marshes and island rookeries of the coast, to the rolling hills of the upstate, and everywhere in between.
