***FEATURED COMMUNITY PROJECT***

Brittlebank Park Buffer Garden:

The Brittlebank Buffer Garden is an SC DHEC/OCRM grant funded project sponsored by the City of Charleston and the College of Charleston. The garden, located next to the fishing pier at downtown Brittlebank Park, is a model of the City's critical line wetland buffer ordinance, containing only native plant species and acting as a buffer to filter nonpoint source pollution before it enters our local waterways.
