North Myrtle Beach, SC
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In 1992, 1,049 acres on Waties Island and the adjoining uplands of Tilghman Point were donated to the Coastal Educational Foundation. The gift has been protected with a perpetual conservation easement through the Nature Conservancy of South Carolina. It was the wish of the late Anne Tilghman Boyce that the property she left to a charitable trust be maintained "in essentially a wilderness state." Through her bequest, the support of her surviving children, and a large cash gift from her late sister-in-law, Kitty Lou Tilghman, the University has gained a magnificent addition to the facilities it can offer to students and faculty for education and research.
The Waties property is an outstanding example of an undeveloped complex of ocean frontage, fresh and saltwater marshes, tidal creeks and upland woods. Surrounded by a rapidly urbanizing environment, Waties Island is becoming increasingly significant for research, monitoring and education about the natural coastal habitat. The island is a very dynamic place. Since 1989, the South Carolina coastline has been affected by seven hurricanes, as well as several other tropical storms and "nor'easters." As a result, change is the rule rather than the exception. This makes Waties Island an excellent outdoor laboratory in which to study natural coastal processes. Take a breathtaking tour and visit with our faculty and students who are actively involved in research on the island.
