Conestee Nature Preserve celebrated its longstanding partnership with Renewable Water Resources (ReWa) Sept. 27 by naming one of its two major bridges after the wastewater service provider.
In unveiling a new sign for the ReWa Connector, Conestee Nature Preserve Executive Director Michael Corley said ReWa’s support has been vital in advancing the preserve’s mission to safeguard vital natural resources and educate the region’s students about the importance of environmental stewardship.
Corley added the utility’s financial support was instrumental in replacing the pedestrian footbridge that was destroyed by flooding in 2020.
“This is a wild and wonderful place and worthy of our resources,” said Joel Jones, ReWa CEO.
Between land owned by ReWa and Conestee Nature Preserve’s 640 acres, about 1,000 acres of crucial green space is dedicated to conservation, education and recreation.
Just minutes from downtown Greenville at 840 Mauldin Road, Conestee Nature Preserve is open to the public. For more information, visit conesteepreserve.org.
