Keep South Carolina Wild
April 15, 2024
Shaw Industries has been a valued Wildlife And Industries Together (WAIT) partner in the Midlands since 2016. Located along the Saluda River, Shaw’s property is a wintering place for waterfowl such as wood ducks and bufflehead. The property’s habitat, which includes maturing forest, a wetlands area, and thickets, provides nesting opportunities for neo-tropical migrants like the summer tanager, white-eyed vireo, and hooded warblers.
Game cameras have recorded numerous white-tailed deer, racoons, and even coyotes!
By allowing brush piles to remain on the property, they have provided habitat for many other mammals, such as eastern striped skunk (a favorite food of great-horned owls) and reptiles. With the recent installation of several wood duck boxes, Shaw Industries hopes to help this species by providing a safe place for them to raise young.
Thank you, Shaw Industries, for your support over the years, as well as your support for local wildlife on your property!
