Cooper River Property Protected by Ducks Unlimited
February 5, 2024
Halidon Hill now under conservation easement
February 5, 2024 - Ducks Unlimited is proud to have successfully closed on the easement of a 1,328-acre mitigation bank site on Halidon Hill in the Cainhoy area near the Francis Marion National Forest and the historic Cooper River. Mitigation activities include preserving and restoring forested and isolated wetlands that provide critical habitat for a variety of wetland dependent species. This is a great example of how land trusts, governmental organizations, and private landowners can partner to protect, restore, and enhance important properties and ecosystems. Ducks Unlimited will monitor this site in perpetuity to ensure its ecological integrity is upheld.
