The goal of the project is to preserve, enhance, and/or restore streams and wetlands associated with Duncan Creek, its tributaries, and the Enoree River watershed. The site provides 15,109 LF of stream enhancement and restoration and 23.2 acres of preserved and restored wetlands. The Open Space Institute purchased the Property for the PRM and will donate it to the United States Forest Service for inclusion in Sumter National Forest.
