Lowcountry Earth Week: Alge Island Kayak Clean Up

Community members are invited to explore and clean up Alge Island, a property once threatened by development that led to the organization of Lowcountry Land Trust in 1986.

The kayak clean-up will occur on Wednesday, April 19, at 418 Owen Street, Charleston, SC 29414 (West Ashley). It will begin promptly at 9 am, and registration is required. Kayaks, paddles, and life jackets will be provided. Please dress weather-appropriate and bring a water bottle, sunscreen, and bug spray.

Lowcountry Earth Week is a collaborative initiative of over 40 local conservation organizations taking place from April 15-22, 2023. The week-long celebration of the region’s natural beauty and resources features a variety of clean-ups, festivals, nature activities, and workshops.  It will conclude with a family-friendly tabling event at Holy City Brewing on Earth Day (4/22).
