Broad River WMA
Last week the Broad River Wildlife Management Area in Fairfield County was dedicated by Ducks Unlimited and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The Broad River WMA is a 670 acre property where public waterfowl hunting is one of several recreational uses of the land. The WMA is open to the public from February 2-October 31. DNR operates draw hunts for waterfowl during the winter season. Bird watching, fishing, archery, deer hunting and small game hunting are also popular at the Broad River WMA.
A collaboration between Ducks Unlimited, SCDNR, and SCANA improved water management capabilities that limited crop production and moist-soil management on the property. DU engineering and biological staff designed and engineered the project which greatly enhanced waterfowl habitat in the area. The total project cost was over $500,000 with funding contributions from DU, SCDNR, SCANA, and the South Carolina Ducks Unlimited Tag Fund, which DU was able to leverage to secure a North American Wetlands Conservation Act grant.
Ducks Unlimited is proud to have delivered another successfully leveraged project for the benefit of South Carolina’s citizens and our public lands hunters.
