Support Conservation with Paddle and Pickin’ on the Broad River!
Join Congaree Land Trust (CLT) for this year’s Fall Celebration— Paddle and Pickin’ on the Broad River—on Sunday, November 10th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. An annual event, Fall Celebration is a chance for the entire family to get outside and experience first-hand the benefits of local land conservation, while supporting the work of the Congaree Land Trust.

Open to the public, attendees will have the opportunity to explore these natural settings and engage in an array of outdoor programming designed to highlight and celebrate the local ecosystems and biodiversity along the Broad River.
