South Carolina’s 229-acre White Tract to be conserved after 20-year fight against housing development
In a remarkable show of environmental cooperation, a 229-acre tract in South Carolina will transition to permanent conservation after development plans were challenged. Concerns over wetlands, wildlife, and water quality catalyzed a settlement enabling the Open Space Institute to acquire land adjacent to the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. This outcome is a triumph for conservation advocates who have dedicated years to preserve this vital ecological region.
