Due to the Coronavirus/Covid-19 outbreak and Congaree National Park still being closed to the general public, this NABA count will be a “by invitation only” event. Each group will be limited to one or two persons who have been specifically asked to attend. We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope to see you for the Fall count or next year.
CANCELLED – Meet at the Harry Hampton Visitor Center where we will divide into smaller groups. Some will have longer areas to walk. Some trails will have roots and may be overgrown. There are no restaurants nearby. Contact David Shelley if you can help with this important count. You do not have to be an expert and you may come for a whole or half day. [email protected]
