For the Autumn of 2022 Waccamaw Audubon will be holding its monthly meetings at Inlet Square Mall, Murrells Inlet on the FIRST Thursday of each month. Our meeting will begin at 6 PM with refreshments and the program will begin at 6:30 PM.
Come learn about how native plants can help protect our environment
Our September speaker will be Kim Morganello, Water Resources Associate and Carolina Clear Coordinator at Clemson University.
Her native plant talk focuses on putting native plants to work for environmental purposes, primarily water management- and features different uses of native plants including rain gardens, vegetative buffers, and floating wetlands. Oh yes, they are also good for bees, butterflies and birds.
Her educational background incudes BS Education from Presbyterian College 2002, MS Environmental Studies at the College of Charleston 2008 and a Masters Degree in Resilient Urban Design from Clemson University 2022
Kim has developed tools, resources, and programming to broaden the application of landscape-level best management practices, in particular rain gardens, wetland restoration, vegetative buffers, rainwater harvesting, living shorelines, stormwater pond retrofits and native plant landscaping. Kim Coordinates Clemson Extension’s Carolina Clear program, providing support to the six regional stormwater consortiums in the state and the 42 participating local governments. She is the co-author of “Guide to Rain Gardens in South Carolina" and several other native plant publications.
