South Carolina has successfully protected over 62,000 acres of forestland with the Pee Dee Basin Initiative. This initiative represents a significant collaboration among various government and private organizations, totaling an investment of $70 million. The protected areas will support sustainable timber production while preventing incompatible development that undermines ecological integrity. In addition, this initiative will enhance local wildlife habitats and strengthen natural flood defenses for surrounding communities.
