Join us for a discussion with Jonathan Keyser about The Black River Cypress Preserve, a privately-owned nature preserve situated along South Carolina’s Scenic Black River. The preserve, along with its companion property, the Peninsula Tract, are integral conservation projects managed by Butler Conservation. Together, these two areas provide ample opportunities for outdoor activities, learning experiences, and research endeavors within their naturally stunning and diverse ecosystems. 

 

About the Speaker: 

Some of Jonathan Keyser’s earliest memories are of wandering around in the woods of the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia with his three dogs. He enjoyed exploring the outdoors and climbing as many trees as possible. 

Over the past twenty years, Jonathan has merged his two passions and college majors (History and Horticulture) into his work as a landscape designer and consultant while working on many historic properties. Since 2016, he has been intimately involved with the creation of the Black River Cypress Preserve as project manager and now serves as its executive director.
