Estuary Story Slam

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED 

Stories of personal connection with estuaries performed by community storytellers

Join us for an evening of storytelling in honor of National Estuaries Week! At this event, we will come together to celebrate all the ways estuaries connect us. Whether it is rivers, marshes, islands, swamps, or ocean – we all have a connection to water. The Estuary Story Slam will feature stories of personal connection with estuaries performed by local community storytellers. 

This event is free and open to the public. It is a live, in-person event held in an outdoor, socially-distanced space. Masks are encouraged.

About the Venue:

The Black River Cypress Preserve is a privately-owned 1,000-acre nature preserve in Georgetown County. Six hundred acres are iconic bottomland, hardwood forest and 400 acres are an upland pine savanna, creating two distinct ecosystems. The Cypress Preserve is situated along four miles of the Black River. Beginning in the summer of 2021, the Black River Cypress Preserve began a major improvement project to enhance the visitor experience. Construction is expected to be completed in the spring of 2022. In the interim, groups may reserve time to visit the property by contacting the Cypress Preserve.
