SUMMARY:Wateree River HP & WMA (Columbia City Nature Challenge - Eastover\, SC)
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Sunday\, April 26\, 2026 \nLocation:  Wateree River Heritage Preserve and Wildlife Management Area \n\nMeeting Time:  10:00 am – to 3:00 pm\nMeeting Spot:  Meet at the first kiosk that is located on the right\, about 0.45 miles along Goodwill Road after entering the property. GPS coordinates for the kiosk are 33.9495\, -80.6530. The HP / WMA entrance is located at 15001 Goodwill Road\, Eastover\, SC 29044 (GPS coordinates 33.9435\, -80.6555) on the north side of Garners Ferry Road\, US Highway 378\, just across from Goodwill Baptist Church.\n\nDescription:  This walk is part of the Columbia City Nature Challenge\, which is part of City Nature Challenge\, an international four-day competition where cities across the globe compete to record the biodiversity of their urban and surrounding areas. We will focus on butterflies\, but all nature entries on iNaturalist will count. Wateree River HP & WMA is a 3\,674-acre tract that was set aside as a mitigation site for the Haile Gold Mine in Kershaw County and is comprised of the old Cook’s Mountain and Goodwill Plantation tracts. We will drive to various areas\, walk some of the trails and quite possibly “bushwhack” through fields to look for butterflies. Some areas may be a little overgrown\, but the walking is mostly on level ground and easy. \nTarget Species:  All butterflies (but will also report other nature observations on iNaturalist) \nNotes:  There are no facilities at this site but there is a gas station nearby. Walk difficulty is easy. Please bring water\, lunch\, binoculars\, cameras and field guides. Sunscreen\, bug spray\, long pants and close-toed shoes are highly recommended. See the website link below for hiking trails and other information about the Wateree River Heritage Preserve and Wildlife Management Area. \nTrip Leaders:  Dave and Marty Kastner \nLodging & Dining Recommendations:  N/A \nSign-up:  Please contact Dave and Marty Kastner at kastners@aol.com if you are planning to attend. You can also register by using the “Register” link above.
