Investigation: How Mass Tree Removal is Causing More Flooding

This investigation by the Post and Courier shows how mass tree removal is creating more flooding in the Charleston area.

Maritime Forest More than 100 Years Old

The Maritime Forest is more than a century old and a small group of residents wants to cut it down for "better views."

Getting Involved: Who to Contact

Your phone call and email to the state agencies who need to allow permits for this mass cutting will make a huge impact. Please tell them you oppose the proposed cutting.

Why We Must Stop the Chop

The plan to allow major cutting of the Maritime Forest is putting lives and property at risk. The forest provides natural resilence to hurricane storm surge.

Three Things You Can Do to Stop the Chop!

The deforestation of Sullivan’s Island is much larger than just an “island” issue. This land was put into a public trust for the benefit and enjoyment of ALL of us — and decisions on how our maritime forest is managed, should not be left in the hands of two private homeowners who want ocean views and breezes. Please Help us Stop the Chop!

Make Your Voice Heard

Together we can let our elected officials know that destroying the maritime forest isn’t good for anyone. Putting ocean views above hurricane storm surge and rising sea level protection, nature, and wildlife cannot be allowed. Speak at council meetings, write opinion letters, speak to your neighbors every chance you get. Protect what protects us.
