SUMMARY:Francis Marion National Forest (McClellanville\, NE of Charleston\, SC)
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATES\nThis is a full CBS walk. Exact locations for butterflying within the FMNF (Francis Marion National Forest) will be determined after the NABA count the weekend before this scheduled CBS walk. We will go to the most productive areas in the FMNF based on NABA count results. \nOn Saturday\, we will meet at the Circle K convenience store at the intersection of Highway 17 and Route 45 in McClellanville\, SC (GPS coordinates 33.09514\, -79.47558). Restrooms are available at this location. From there we will drive to the areas within the FMNF to butterfly. We will be on forest roads within the national forest. There is a fairly large area to explore so we will be driving to specific sites\, parking and walking along the roadside\, then driving to other areas to explore on foot. There are no facilities within the FMNF. The meeting location for Sunday will be determined at the end of the walk on Saturday. \nMake sure to bring plenty of water\, bug repellant and a lunch. You can attend either or both days. Please contact Alison Smith at the email address below if you plan to participate.

There is no street address\, but the GPS coordinates are 35.89233\, -79.01647. The walking loop is about 2 miles or so and is flat. The trail winds through several habitats including hardwood forest\, mixed pine forest\, open fields\, and has a nice boardwalk section through a wetland.
