Lowcountry Chapter: Gadsden Creek Field Trip

Join us Saturday, January 25th from 10am to 12pm for a walking tour of Gadsden Creek, led by Special Advisor for Community Initiatives to the City of Charleston Mika Gadsden. For those who may have attended the Gadsden Creek field trip held in the Fall of 2023, this field trip will provide important updates to the conservation efforts by Friends of Gadsden Creek in partnership with the South Carolina Environmental Law Project.  In addition to exploring this thriving saltmarsh ecosystem, Mika will give an overview of the history of the surrounding Gadsden Green neighborhood and recent efforts to preserve the Creek from being filled and built on.

We will meet at 10am at the south end of Brittlebank Park across from the Publix where Gadsden Creek passes under Lockwood Boulevard to join the Ashley River. From there we will set off for a leisurely 2-mile loop around the Creek. Parking is available at Brittle Bank Park and along Westedge Street. Maximum 25 attendees.
