Wetlands 101 Webinar

September 21, 2026

Wetlands are essential to South Carolina’s communities and ecosystems, but they’re facing growing threats from development and a changing landscape. In this webinar, the South Carolina Conservation Coalition explores why wetlands matter, the benefits they provide, and what communities can do to help preserve them.

Coalition Co-Chair Emily Poole leads a conversation with staff from the SC Office of Resilience and the Town of Bluffton about recent efforts to protect wetlands, build resilience across the state, and create local policies that support wetland conservation.

The South Carolina Wildlife Federation is proud to be a member of the South Carolina Conservation Coalition and to work alongside partners across the state to raise awareness and advance protections for South Carolina’s valuable wetlands.
