The Department of South Carolina Natural Resources is proud to have Wendy’s as our boating safety partner. If your child gets caught wearing their life jacket this summer, they could get a free t-shirt from the Department of Natural Resources and a free Jr. Frosty from Wendy’s. So unless you are a life jacket like Zippit, please wear your life jacket like Wendy. Be safe this summer!

Theres much more to that day on the lake than gassing up the boat and packing a picnic. We chatted with Sergeant Karen Swink with the DNRs Law Enforcement Education section, and Sergeant Donnie Pritcher with Marine Investigations and Education about the safety concerns that all boaters need to address.

South Carolina Wildlife TV is an idea that had floated around for several years. There were many potential stories associated with SCDNR projects and outreach activities, and ultimately a plan bobbed to the surface in August of 2003. We had a clean slate from which to work. We decided the best approach would be something like a video version of South Carolina Wildlife magazine. So meetings were held, amused chuckles were traded and a format was chosen. We would build a show around two main stories, one field trip segment, and a short wrap-up piece that featured natural sounds and settings. Most importantly, we would hit the road and river and forest and anywhere else we could find South Carolinas special places. At last count, our tally includes just over one hundred shooting locations, about seventy guests, dozens of drive-thru cheeseburgers, four hosts and one upside-down truck (don’t ask).
