The Seabrook Island Natural History Group (SINHG) marked its fortieth anniversary as members gathered recently for the organization’s annual meeting at Lake House.
Noting that SINHG is Seabrook Island’s oldest special interest group, as well as its largest with more than 500 members, President Lynn Baker told the gathering that the late Johns Island native Betty Stringfellow, a granddaughter of the Andell family which once owned much of Seabrook, and a group of other like-minded Seabrookers began to organize informal group educational tours in the early 1980s focusing on the Lowcountry’s natural history and culture. “SINHG has been carrying on that mission ever since,” Baker said, adding that a fall series of more than thirty SINHG trips for members would be announced early in the summer.
In addition to its twice-yearly program of member trips, SINHG offers six Evening Programs per year for Seabrook residents and their guests focusing on the Lowcountry’s history, archaeology, cultural traditions and ecology.
SINHG trips for members continue through late May. To learn about membership click here.
