Welcome to LandScope South Carolina
The LandScope America website is a work in progress. In addition to comprehensive nationwide information, like much of what you can already find via the map viewer, we will include extensive state-by-state information, found on state home pages like this one. Because South Carolina is one of many states where we are still working to develop all of the needed maps, stories and other content, currently you’ll find only summary information here. For an example of completed state content, visit the home pages of our five pilot states: Colorado, Florida, Maine, Virginia and Washington.

South Carolina Conservation Summary
Many of the first naturalists to encounter the New World disembarked in the colony of South Carolina in the late 1600s, starting a deep-rooted tradition of appreciation of the natural world. Through the collective efforts of conservationists and concerned citizens, we will assure that the tradition inspired by the great early naturalists is not lost to our future generations, and that South Carolina's habitats, plants and animals will continue to inspire, heal and sustain humanity
