Caw Caw Interpretive Center encompasses several habitats. For this program, we’ll guide children through an investigative, activity-based experience. Join us as we observe various flora and fauna of this distinct ecosystem in both the field and the laboratory.

Charleston County Parks and Clemson University are offering a certified Master Naturalist (MN) program for people interested in understanding and protecting the state's valuable natural resources. MN candidates complete a 13-day field study course led by a variety of experts in some of the state's most beautiful natural areas as they learn and practice skills naturalists use to "read" the natural world. The MN program develops volunteer citizen scientists, conservationists, and educators who can positively impact the natural resources of the state. This edition meets every Tuesday from September 5 until December 5, skipping Thanksgiving week. A detailed schedule will be available at our first meeting.

What do science and art have in common? Observation and appreciation! Of course, Charleston's salt marshes are beautiful, but have you taken a closer look? Learn about what makes this ecosystem essential and practice your microscope skills to see the world from a new perspective. Use this newfound perspective to create a marsh masterpiece to take home.

Bring your curiosity and engage all of your senses while exploring natural habitats at your county parks! Led by Charleston County Park's Education staff, the multi-seasonal Junior Naturalist program series offers a wide variety of fun and educational nature-based activities focused around a central theme. Children who attend 8 classes earn the title of a Certified Junior Naturalist! We often say indigenous people are the first naturalists. Explore Native American culture of coastal South Carolina at the time of European settlement. Learn how local tribes successfully used natural resources in everyday life.
