"COLUMBIA, S.C. - The state of South Carolina has secured 50 million dollars to
conserve 62,000 acres of the Pee Dee River basin. Governor Henry McMaster says
the goal is to protect the resources on that land from being stripped for
production. The governor also says this is by far the largest conservation
project in the history of South Carolina.

According to a release from the governor's office, the money comes from the
Forest Legacy Program.

South Carolina is heavily impacted by forestry products such as timber which is
the state's most harvested crop. In addition to saving the land and trees,
these preservation efforts will give public access to more than 7,000 acres of
land."
