The keepers and teachers of the modern world

With a vast outdoor classroom at our fingertips, the Palmetto Bluff Conservancy team members are ambassadors to each resident and guest, introducing them to this landscape in ways large and small, structured and informal. Tours, classes and workshops, programs, research and field trips are all available to facilitate this environmental learning process.

Explore PBC: Artifact Hunt

Meet at the Conservancy Classroom

Dr. Mary Socci and Katie Epps, the Conservancy’s Archaeologists, will lead us on a search for artifacts in one of the old fields dotting Palmetto Bluff. After seeking out pieces of history, we will gather around as they identify everything we discover and unveil a part of Palmetto Bluff’s story. (No, we can’t keep what we find, but it will be fun anyway!)

Closed-toed shoes and long pants required.

Reservations required through: info@pbconservancy.org.
