Congaree- Environment

Hello from Congaree National Park! Today, we discovered that the sun does indeed shine in South Carolina. We took advantage of the great weather by helping the park rangers remove a deteriorating cabin. It was a challenging task, but we completely filled the bus-sized dumpster!

Yesterday, was another long day filled with park intro videos and other volunteer training. We also helped remove several evasive species from the park and cleared a fallen tree that was blocking the an important park road.

We spent Saturday exploring Charleston's famous French Quarter, checking out the city market, and enjoying some fresh seafood. Sunday morning, we relaxed on the beach before heading to the National Park where the rangers have really made us feel at home.

The weather has been very bipolar, but unfortunately, Missouri has prepared us well for this. We've experienced a few setbacks, but our group has really grown together and things couldn't be better in Congaree! Hopefully we'll be able to find cell service again soon!
