HARD SCRAMBLE PROPERTY: Suitability Analysis and Sustainable Guidelines
Background from Clemson World, 2006: Benefactor Margaret Hebard Lloyd has given Hard Scramble, a beautiful, unspoiled 853-acre tract of land along the Wateree River in Kershaw County, and a generous endowment to Clemson for environmental stewardship. Hard Scramble and Clemson's Sandhill Research and Education Center in Columbia, only 20 miles apart, are closely connected in topography, flora, fauna and land resources. The gift broadens Clemson's ability to involve and educate citizens about the wise use of natural resources and opportunities for environmental sustainability. Development of a small portion of the Hard Scramble property will be devoted to an initiative dealing with residential green building and an environmental education center that highlights our connections with nature.
Please join us.
