SINHG: from Trips to Trails
You know about SINHG trips, but do you know about SINHG nature trails?
Yes, Seabrook Island Natural History Group, in conjunction with SIPOA, maintains 4 walking trails on Seabrook Island. These trails, on SIPOA property, have been established and are maintained as a joint project of SINHG and SIPOA.
Most of us enjoy the beauty of Seabrook Island's unspoiled beaches, panoramic salt marshes, and quiet streets lined with majestic live oaks. But many of us are not aware of the opportunity the trails provide to have a peaceful walk through natural areas.
The 4 trails are all maintained in their natural states and some have markers identifying the vegetation. They are for foot traffic only, not bicycles. And they should only be used from dawn to dusk.
For safety purposes, people are requested to stay on the trails and not interfere with the wildlife or vegetation. Bug spray may be needed in July, August and September. Sun screen may also be needed. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on leash and, please, clean up after them.
The trails are rated from 1 to 5 in walking difficulty, with 1 being the easiest and 5 being the most difficult.
Enjoy the trails! Let nature engulf you. Take your time and keep your eyes and ears open. Your next great wildlife sighting could be right around the corner!
