Ever seen a decently large black and yellow spider in a huge web, sometimes with a white zigzag pattern in the middle? This is called a yellow garden spider. They commonly get confused with the golden silk orb weaver, but are very different. The coloration is different on the body, as are the webs. The web of the garden spider isn’t a golden color and is most of the time slightly smaller. Who is ready for the spooky season?! Don’t let the vampires, zombies, and clowns stop you from coming to zipline! FALL HOURS: OPEN 3 DAYS A WEEK!

The carolina mantis, despite its name, is found in nearly every state in the U.S. and is the state insect of South Carolina. They can range from green, to brown, to gray and the nymphs can actually change colors to blend in with their environment!

Just look at this beauty! I know, it’s a spider, but ya gotta admit the coloration on it is gorgeous. This is a white-banded fishing spider, one of the many types of fishing spiders in and around the swamp.

Another benefit of environmental education is the dispelling of common myths and folklore, like spiders and snakes being awful creatures. They are extremely important in ecosystems and are not out to get you—they want nothing to do with humans and will actively try to avoid us. BACK TO SCHOOL!

The longleaf pine is a native to the southeast and is perfectly adapted to fire. The longleaf pines start as a little tuft of grass that is susceptible to brown spot fungus, but when the fire comes through, it will burn it off and any brush that could block sunlight. The insides are protected from the fire and will continue to grow. PLAY Outside before School Begins! We offer educational school group (minimal size of 75 participants) tours all year!
