    Natural vegetation of the Carolinas: Classification and Description of Plant Communities of the Lumber (Little Pee Dee) and Waccamaw Rivers A report prepared for the Ecosystem Enhancement Program, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources in partial fulfillments of contract D07042. By M. Forbes Boyle, Robert K. Peet, Thomas R. Wentworth, Michael P. Schafale, and Michael Lee Carolina Vegetation Survey Curriculum in Ecology, CB#3275 University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, NC 27599‐3275 Version 1. May 19, 2009 1 INTRODUCTION The riverine and associated vegetation of the Waccamaw, Lumber, and Little Pee Rivers of North and South Carolina are ecologically significant and floristically unique components of the southeastern Atlantic Coastal Plain. Stretching from northern Scotland County, NC to western Brunswick County, NC, the Lumber and northern Waccamaw Rivers influence a vast amount of landscape in the southeastern corner of NC. Not far south across the interstate border, the Lumber River meets the Little Pee Dee River, influencing a large portion of western Horry County and southern Marion County, SC before flowing into the Great Pee Dee River. The Waccamaw River, an oddity among Atlantic Coastal Plain rivers in that its significant flow direction is southwest rather that southeast, influences a significant portion of the eastern Horry and eastern Georgetown Counties, SC before draining into Winyah Bay along with the Great Pee Dee and several other SC blackwater rivers. The Waccamaw River originates from Lake Waccamaw in Columbus County, NC and flows ~225 km parallel to the ocean before abrubtly turning southeast in Georgetown County, SC and dumping into Winyah Bay.

  • Waccamaw River Blue Trail
    ABOUT THE WACCAMAW RIVER BLUE TRAIL The Waccamaw River Blue Trail extends the entire length of the river in North and South Carolina. Beginning near Lake Waccamaw, a permanently inundated Carolina Bay, the river meanders through the Waccamaw River Heritage Preserve, City of Conway, and Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge before merging with the Intracoastal Waterway where it passes historic rice fields, Brookgreen Gardens, Sandy Island, and ends at Winyah Bay near Georgetown. Over 140 miles of river invite the paddler to explore its unique natural, historical and cultural features. Its black waters, cypress swamps and tidal marshes are home to many rare species of plants and animals. The river is also steeped in history with Native American settlements, Civil War sites, rice and indigo plantations, which highlight the Gullah-Geechee culture, as well as many historic homes, churches, shops, and remnants of industries that were once served by steamships. To protect this important natural resource, American Rivers, Waccamaw RIVERKEEPER®, and many local partners worked together to establish the Waccamaw River Blue Trail, providing greater access to the river and its recreation opportunities. A Blue Trail is a river adopted by a local community that is dedicated to improving family-friendly recreation such as fishing, boating, and wildlife watching and to conserving riverside land and water resources. Just as hiking trails are designed to help people explore the land, Blue Trails help people discover their rivers. They help communities improve recreation and tourism, benefit local businesses and the economy, and protect river health for the benefit of people, wildlife, and future generations.

  • Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge Climate Change Impacts
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge Climate Change Impacts Located in portions of Horry, Georgetown, and Marion County, South Carolina, Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is South Carolina’s newest Wildlife Refuge. Waccamaw NWR was established Photo by USFWSby Photo on December 1, 1997 after completing a two-year environmental impact statement. The refuge acquisition boundary spans over 55,000 acres and includes large sections of freshwater tidal wetlands associated with the Waccamaw and Great Pee Dee Rivers and a smaller section along the Little Pee Dee River. The Refuge currently manages approximately 23,000 acres which translates to 34 square miles of floodplain wetlands. In addition to refuge lands, there are an additional 13,500 acres of land permanently owned and protected by either the state or through private easements within the Refuge Waccamaw River Acquisition Boundary. The wetland diversity within the Refuge is significant and includes some of the most diverse freshwater wetland systems in the world. Because of the proximity of these wetlands to the Winyah Bay Estuary, these systems are heavily influenced by daily tides and they Photo by USFWSby Photo serve an important role in providing essential ecological functions that sustain this estuary. Signature wildlife species throughout the refuge include wood storks, osprey, black bear, and swallow-tailed kites. Kites have made Waccamaw NWR their northernmost nesting area within their range. Recently Waccamaw NWR developed a Strategic Habitat Plan for swallow-tailed kites that is focused on understanding the relationship between conservation lands in and Swallow-tailed kite around the Refuge as well as adjoining unprotected private lands which are also important to kite nest productivity.
