V
isitors to Kiawah Island and residents who make it their home invariably cite the Island’s beautiful natural
habitat as the main reason for their choice. The Kiawah Conservancy’s single purpose is the preservation

to further this purpose ensures we are on the right track. And who is the Kiawah Conservancy? It is every
one of us every time we choose to take the opportunity to preserve and maintain the Island’s habitat.
