Sunlight
dances through the trees and Spanish Moss as two walkers in the distance bask
in the beauty of a gorgeous late October afternoon at Pinckney Island National
Wildlife Refuge, a 4,053-acre national wildlife refuge located in Beaufort
County, South Carolina, between the mainland and Hilton Head.
Pinckney
Island NWR, established December 4, 1975, was once included in the plantation
of Major General Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a prominent lawyer active in
South Carolina politics from 1801-1815.
