Friends of Port Royal Cypress Wetlands
The Friends of Port Royal Cypress Wetlands, Inc., a 501c3, was formed under the guidance of Pete Richards in October of 2019. On February 28th of 2020 Pete died but his legacy lives on. The Board of Directors are proudly continuing Pete’s vision of the “Wonderment of the Wetlands.”
Our mission is to support the cypress wetlands and rookery, increase community awareness through education, and advocate for maintaining this stormwater retention system as a working organic laboratory.
We hope you will join us in our quest to aid the Town of Port Royal in maintaining and educating, both young and old, about this unique and natural treasure. Join us by donating here.
