Conestee Nature Preserve is a 406-acre state-designated Wildlife Sanctuary; a conservation space for wild things just 45 minutes east of Clemson and surprisingly close to Greenville. The historic lake parcel, including the Lake Conestee Dam, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The wide variety of bird species reported in the Preserve is a consequence of the variety of habitat found there: lake, pine and mixed deciduous woodlands, transitional meadows, the Reedy River and extensive swampland (due in part to the energetic activity of the local beaver population). Please note the group will meet onsite; no transportation is provided.

Staff naturalists at the Conestee Nature Preserve will lead this interpretive hike; they recommend that you bring binoculars and your bird lists.
