RAVENEL, S.C.<\/b> — The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) in partnership with both the South Carolina Seven (SC7) Expedition and the Charleston County Parks’ Caw Caw Interpretive Center, will host a unique multisensory nature experience this coming Wednesday, July 22. The event is designed to connect people with visual impairments and\/or other accessibility needs to South Carolina’s outdoors.<\/p>\n
Led by SCDNR’s State Botanist Keith Bradley and educators from the Caw Caw Interpretive Center, the program will feature a guided walk along a one-mile, flat natural trail, followed by an interactive classroom experience exploring the preserve’s wildlife and habitats through touch, sound, smell and taste.<\/p>\n
Participants will smell and touch native plants, listen to the sounds of different ecosystems, and sample refreshing iced tea brewed from plants found at the preserve.<\/p>\n
The experience will also include hands-on exploration of natural artifacts and wildlife specimens, including alligator skin, Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, a deer pelt, bobcat and otter mounts, feathers, fossils and animal antlers.<\/p>\n
The event reflects SCDNR’s commitment to ensuring South Carolina’s natural resources are accessible to everyone while providing meaningful opportunities to learn about the state’s diverse wildlife, habitats and conservation efforts.<\/p>\n
The multisensory experience is one of several SCDNR programs featured during the SC7 Expedition, a statewide journey across South Carolina’s seven geographic regions that promotes conservation, outdoor recreation and stewardship.<\/p>\n
The program will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at Caw Caw Interpretive Center, 5200 Savannah Highway, Ravenel, S.C. 29470. Admission is $2.00 per person.<\/p>\n
