Forest Preserve
In 1959, the Fraser family, founders and developers of Sea Pines, established a tract of 572 acres dedicated as the Forest Preserve. In 1970, this tract was increased to 605 acres for wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation. Its landscape of sand ridges and long wetlands was sculpted by changing sea levels over the past 15,000 years. The first inhabitants, 4000 years ago, were nomadic Indians who hunted and gathered shells in salt marshes that are freshwater wetlands today. They left behind the Sea Pines Indian Shell Ring, a circular mound of shells that were placed outside of their huts. The Preserve is accessed by bike paths, bridle paths, wetland boardwalks, observation decks, bridges, and fishing docks.
