Exercise caution around the community as bucks are less cautious during this time and may be more approachable. Admire wildlife from a safe distance and keep your dog close on a leash. Please remember the following while driving in Sea Pines:
-
Slow Down. Drive at slower speeds during dawn and dusk hours when deer are known to be more active. Also, remember that deer often travel in herds, so if you see one animal there may be others in the vicinity.
-
Use High Beams. Using your vehicle’s high beams (if possible) can help you spot deer more quickly, which can give you the best opportunity to slow down as you approach.
-
What if my vehicle hits a deer? To report a vehicle collision with a deer within the Sea Pines Community, call Sea Pines Security at 843.671.7170. If there are injuries, call 911.

Tree Care: Roadside tree trimming on Greenwood Drive, between the Greenwood Gate and Six Oaks Cemetery, will continue through next week. Please expect intermittent traffic delays while crews are working, and use caution when traveling through the area.
Stormwater Maintenance: Next week, crews will lay sod along Greenwood Drive near Lake Forest Drive, where ditch work was recently completed. The new sod will stabilize the soil and help control erosion along the roadside.
All work is weather permitting. For questions or to report a maintenance concern, please contact our Maintenance Department at csamaintenance@csaseapines.com, by phone at 843.671.7849, or by utilizing the 'contact us' form available here.

Sea Pines Eagles Preparing for Nesting Season
The Sea Pines eagles are busy preparing their nest, and it appears they are building a nest cup. A nest cup is a small, soft depression in the center of the nest that cushions, insulates, and holds the eggs. In South Carolina, eagles usually lay eggs in the winter months, so this could be a sign of exciting things to come. A second Eagle Cam is now live to help you follow along. It shows the nest tree and zooms in automatically throughout the day. Watch both cameras live at seapineseagle.com.
Eagle Naming Contest Coming Soon! We’ll soon be inviting property owners to help name the Sea Pines eagles. Contest details will be shared in an upcoming community email, so stay tuned and start thinking of your best name ideas!
