The public is invited to provide input on the public use activities and services at Hasty Point, a new parcel of land recently added to the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge.

The refuge is undergoing a comprehensive visitor services study for this tract and public input is important to this effort.

Hasty Point historically served as a rice plantation and has important cultural significance for Georgetown County.

Four in-person, open forums are scheduled throughout the County where all are welcome to offer their opinions. The December 7th session at Howard Auditorium will have the option for participants to join virtually (see below) and will be recorded.
