Full Moon Bonfire – Friday, March 18

The sky cleared and we had a brief view of the moon for our February Full Moon Bonfire. Hopefully the weather will cooperate again this month.

Full Moon Bonfire

Friday, March 18, 2022

Sunset – 7:28 pm

Moonrise – 8:03 pm

High Tide – 9:19 pm

Full Worm Moon

To keep things simple, each person brings what you want: food, drinks, chairs and a stick of firewood for a big bonfire. Nothing will be provided but a beautiful beach, a bonfire and, hopefully, a full moon.

People ask if the bonfire will be held if it’s rainy…. the bonfire will be cancelled if it is raining or rain is threatening as few would be comfortable attending.

By terms of the permit, the fire needs to be out no later than 10 pm. The later sunset means no longer a conflict with dinner hour but we still have plenty of time to enjoy the evening.

There’s always plenty of room on the beach for everyone, so invite a friend or bring your house guests.

Put these dates for the Full Moon Bonfires on your calendar:

Saturday, April 16 (Easter weekend)
Monday, May 16 (We may be out of town. Someone volunteered to host last month but I failed to get an email address. Please email if you can help)
Tuesday, June 14

How the Full Moon got its name

Per Old Farmers Almanac (https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-names):

March: Full Worm Moon – Traditionally thought to be named after the earthworms of warming spring soil. Alternatively, in the late 1700s, Jonathan Carver wrote that this Moon actually refers to a different sort of “worm”—larvae—which emerge from the bark of trees and other winter hideouts around this time.

Other names are:

Crow Comes Back Moon
Eagle Moon
Goose Moon
Snow Crust Moon
Sore Eye Moon
Sugar Moon
Wind Strong Moon

I found another website (http://newsclipper.hubpages.com/hub/The-Moon-Facts-Trivia-and-Folklore) This site also says the Cherokee Indians called it the Windy Moon and the English Medieval name was the Chaste Moon.

Another website (https://www.space.com/16830-full-moon-calendar.html) says the Chinese call it Sleepy Moon.

Happy Pi Day! March 14

Today, March 14, is Pi Day, celebrating the first three digits of pi (π) which are 3.14. The Greek letter π is merely the circumference or distance around a circle divided by its diameter or distance across the circle. Hence the formula C = π d or π = C/d. You may also remember this formula as C = 2 π r, because the diameter is equal to twice the radius (the radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle.)

According to exploratorium.edu, people have known about π for almost 4,000 years. The Babylonians, the Egyptians and even the Chinese knew of this ratio and attempted with rudimentary tools and calculators to find the exact number. Archimedes is credited with the first mathematical proof that π was 31/7 or 22/7 which is approximately 3.14.

It wasn’t until the 1700s that the Greek letter π was used to denote this relationship between the circumference and the diameter.

Π is an irrational number. That means it goes on forever, never ends, and doesn’t have a pattern. This is important because if you are trying to calculate something as exact as you can, you want to use the most accurate approximation of π.

To learn more about pi, go to piday.org.

Anyway – Happy Pi Day!

Leaf Collection Schedule

Spring is approaching and our oak trees are beginning to shed.

SIPOA will be collecting leaf debris from our roadways using street sweepers beginning on Monday, March 14. Leaf collection will continue for four weeks and discontinue on Friday, April 8.

Normal road blowing operations will be paused during this time. Our goal is to remove these leaves from the roadway before they enter our stormwater collection system and ultimately end up in our stormwater pipes and ponds. Last year we were able to collect over 500 cubic yards of leaf debris!

Saving Local Natural Spaces

The Seabrook Island Green Space Conservancy is a member of the Johns Island Task Force, a group that promotes an open exchange of views between local organizations and regional authorities about land use issues.

There was a discussion at the March 2 Task Force meeting of the Lowcountry Land Trust proposal to protect three properties, two on Johns Island and one on Rte 17, and the need to educate residents about these properties. These properties are the Sea Islands Small Farmers Cooperative (SISFC) on the Savannah Highway, Ravenswood on Chisolm Road, and Oakville/Burden Creek on River Road, just north of the Airport.

The Lowcountry Land Trust is a conservation organization that works with landowners and governments throughout the Lowcountry to conserve the natural landscape and protect wildlife habitat, water quality, and historic resources.

The SISFC property merits protection because of its historic and cultural significance, and it provides important recreational opportunities to the surrounding community, including access to the Wallace River for crabbing and fishing. The two properties on Johns Island possess a variety of valuable environmental types including woodlands, wetlands, open fields, and a large freshwater pond on the Ravenswood property. At a time when numerous developments are either underway or planned for Johns Island, conservation easements on these properties will help safeguard the island’s biodiversity, wildlife habitat, and overall environmental health, which are essential functions for ensuring sustainability and quality of life for the surrounding community.

For further information about these three properties, click here.

March 15 is the deadline to hear from constituents with your views about these projects. The SISFC will be presenting these projects to the Greenbelt Advisory Board Subcommittees the next day. To learn more about this initiative or to voice your opinion, you can email the following:

For all three projects, contact the Charleston county Greenbelt Program care of Eric Davis at EDavis@charlestoncounty.org.
For the Sea Islands Small Farmers Cooperative and Ravenswood projects to the SC Conservation Bank, contact them in care of Amber Larck at Amber.Larck@sccbank.sc.gov. Note that the Oakville/Burden Creek project has already received SC Conservation Bank funding.

You can also contact Natalie Olson of the Lowcountry Land Trust at nolson@lowcountrylandtrust.org.
