Funding will support the protection of coastal forested wetlands along the Black River as well as the establishment of a kayak launch at the recently protected Rocky Point Community Forest in Georgetown County, SC. By supporting the acquisition of critical land, Duke Energy is helping to enhance quality of life, safeguard water quality, and protect sensitive habitats. In turn, by providing new kayak access to the River’s treasures, support will help increase understanding of the need for the region’s protection.
