Expeditions with Patrick McMillan: Clemson Forest (Part 1)
Air Date: May 25, 2008

Can you imagine 12-foot Alligators, wading bird rookeries, Native American shell mounds, fox squirrels and painted buntings all existing is close quarters with humans in a residential development? While snakes and alligators might be considered "undesirable" by many, they are crucial elements of the ecological processes of the Carolina Lowcountry. Is it possible to incorporate such challenging species into a planned community? Join Patrick as he visits the Spring Island community and finds nature and wildlife sharing the Sea Islands of South Carolina.
