CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Nestled between the Ashley River, Highway 61 and historic plantations lies 194 acres of untouched wetlands known as the Oaks Plantation.
“This is by every account one of the most important places not just in Charleston but in the state,” Patrick Moore with the conservation organization Open Space Institute said. “You got a scenic River, you got the scenic road, you got the historic designation at the state level and at the federal level.”
