Cooper River Focus Area Habitat Protection Project : conserving the natural resources and historic character of the Cooper, Ashley, Wando and Stono River systems

Abstract

The CRFA includes the Charleston Metropolitan Area and much of the area is under intensive development pressure. The wildlife habitats, historical sites, archaeological sites and traditional land uses will be lost or diminished if not protected soon. The objective is to protect these resources by promoting traditional uses of the land such as forestry, agriculture and wildlife management on a long term basis through the implementation of plans for the stewardship and protection of the individual properties.
