Southern 8ths Farm is located on the SC/NC border\, primarily in Chesterfield County\, SC with a portion of the property extending into Anson County\, NC. The property sits on Thompson Creek in an ecoregional and geological boundary straddling the fall line just above the Sandhills. This unique geology has birthed a rich diversity of native plant communities. Carolina Wildlands Foundation has done extensive work to restore prairie habitat across the property.\nLearn More about Southern 8ths Farm and Carolina Wildlands Foundation:\nhttps://www.so8ths.com/nature/\n\nVideo about Thompson Create and the geology of the region:https://vimeo.com/1002041941\n\nThe Carolina Butterfly Society is working with Southern 8ths Farm to help them create an introductory field guide on their butterfly diversity for their outreach and education programs. Meaning\, the butterfly folks will be placing a keen emphasis on adding news species to the site’s biodiversity list. So\, it’s up to SCAN to rack up a great biodiversity list for everything else for the day! Carolina Wildlands Foundation is counting on us.\n\nThis SCAN trip will extend into the night of March 22nd with night surveys for herps and insects. So\, bring your headlamps and blacklights! We’ll continue into Sunday March 23rd as well. (There is a new satellite site to Southern 8ths Farm we may be able to survey on Sunday as well.)\n\nThere are restrooms on site. On-site camping is permitted. There are 10 RV pads available on site with power hook-ups (no wastewater) and the ability for on-site camping.
