The Daufuskie Island Conservancy in collaboration with the DI Fire Department and Beaufort County Open Land Trust will host a presentation of the Community Wildfire Protection Program for Daufuskie Island by the SC Forestry Commission (SCFC). It will be on Thursday, April 30th at The Island House in Melrose at 5:30 PM. This is the follow up to the presentation that the Forestry Commission made to us in November, 2013.
Firewise is a national program and is managed in South Carolina by the SCFC. The goal of the Firewise program is to educate communities about implementing local solutions for safety by involving homeowners in taking individual responsibility in preparing their homes for the risk of wildfire.

From the DI Conservancy and Haig Point:
Many thanks to the 50 adult volunteers and one child that participated in the Spring Beach Sweep on Saturday. The weather cooperated and the results were incredible. A full report will follow from the Daufuskie Island Conservancy and the Haig Point Environmental Committee. Special thanks to our sponsors Bloody Point, Haig Point and Melrose on the Beach for providing refreshments. Enormous thanks to Mike Loftus, Bill Nickels, Chase Allen, Bob Greene and Geoff Brunning for their removal of over 200 pieces of construction material and large items from the Bloody Point, Oak Ridge and Melrose beaches with their Gators and to Chase for the use of his large SUV and trailor to haul all those items to the County dump. Thanks to the Haig Point Maintenance for their continued maintenance of the beach road and for picking up the trash bags at the Haig Point location and to Len Pojednic for his hauling of the large items left on the Haig beach. We can take pride in our beaches for the season.
