Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Agreement

Once abundant from the Atlantic Coast to Oklahoma, the red-cockaded woodpecker now only exists in isolated groups that face ever-shrinking habitat. Today, it is estimated that fewer than 15,000 of the birds survive. SCE&G has entered into two Safe Harbor Cooperative Agreements with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources to maintain and enhance habitat for red-cockaded woodpeckers on all lands owned by the company in Georgetown and Jasper Counties.
