If you would like to make a real difference for wildlife and the community this spring, please sign up to volunteer with SCWF on Saturday, March 14th for a litter sweep at Archer’s Lake near Irmo, SC. This pond hosts wintering waterfowl like ruddy ducks, lesser scaup, and hooded mergansers. In the spring, you can find neotropical birds like the blackpoll warbler and yellow warbler here too.

Over the past five years, we have removed over 10,000 items of trash from Archer’s Lake and the surrounding area. All the trash that is picked up will be recorded in the SC Aquarium’s “litter journal”. The data collected by these pickups is critical in identifying pollution trends in a particular area, as well as promoting discussions about conservation, single-item plastic use in our state, and how trash impacts wildlife.
