The South Carolina Bluebird Society and the South Carolina DNR are donating 50 cypress bluebird boxes complete with predator baffles and poles to improve nesting habitat at the 700-acre complex. The complex has miles of bluebird trails that are part of the 700-acre Hunting Heritage Center which includes the Palmetto Shooting Complex and Outdoor Education Center.

Volunteers with the SCBS and SCDNR biologists will be supervising the installation.
