Step into the rich history and breathtaking beauty of the ACE Basin, one of the largest and most ecologically significant estuaries on the East Coast. Join us for an exclusive, private tour of the Nemours Wildlife Foundation, a 10,000-acre sanctuary of preserved Lowcountry wilderness, where conservation and Southern heritage come together. Nestled in the heart of the ACE Basin (Ashepoo, Combahee, and Edisto rivers), Nemours is a beacon for wildlife conservation and an unparalleled glimpse into the stunning landscapes and biodiversity of South Carolina.
Discover the Legacy of Nemours
Over the decades, Nemours has transformed into a foundation committed to preserving South Carolina’s natural habitats and cultural heritage. Through our exclusive tour, you’ll witness first-hand the dedicated work of scientists and conservationists protecting native flora and fauna, ensuring this region’s treasures remain vibrant for generations.
Conservation in Action: Longleaf & Loblolly Pines
Explore efforts to restore the iconic longleaf pine forests, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in North America, now rare but once spread across the Southeast. Learn about the foundation’s role in reintroducing these majestic trees to their native grounds and supporting the delicate ecosystems that rely on them. Nemours is also committed to sustaining the loblolly pine, a cornerstone species crucial to local wildlife habitats and carbon storage. Each pine planted, and each acre preserved represents a step toward a healthier, greener future for our state.
