Two properties, totaling 410 acres, were recently added to the Audubon Center & Sanctuary at Francis Beidler Forest. The acquisitions include 380 acres of forested land along Dean Swamp in Berkeley County, as well as a 30-acre property located along Four Holes Swamp in an unincorporated area of Orangeburg County. These two new properties now expand Beidler's total acreage to 18,330 acres, and add important bird habitat while also expanding the swamp's ability to mitigate flooding, reduce runoff, and enhance water quality.
