Alligators are a natural, normal, and important part of wetlands along the coast of SC. Usually docile creatures, these reptiles can become aggressive as an unintended result of being fed by people. Once the alligator associates people with food, it must be killed. Remember: A fed gator is a dead gator. For this reason, the SC Dept. of Natural Resources can fine up to $2000 and imprison anyone feeding, harassing, or approaching an alligator.
Exercising, sniffing, and playing off-leash are important to a dogs sense of well-being. Your county park system is proud to provide these facilities for our pooch patrons in several county parks; however, once your pet leaves the dog park, it must be leashed at all times. A leashed pet is not likely to: Stress songbirds & other wildlife.
Be harmed or killed by poisonous plants, venomous snakes, ticks, or vehicles.
Ruin the outing of another visitor that does not understand how lovable your pet is.
By bagging your pets waste and placing it in collection containers, you will: Avoid run-off contamination of nearby water from which dogs and wildlife
drink.
Discourage weed and algae growth that will cloud the nearby water.
Reduce diseases and parasites that can transmit to other pets and people.
Protect wildlife.
Keep the park a pleasant place to visit.
The Historic Battlefield Master Plan Update for Folly and Morris islands focuses on two coastal properties with historical ties.
