This episode highlights Congaree National Park in South Carolina through the perspective of its superintendent, Greg Hauburger. Known for preserving the largest tract of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest in the southeastern United States, Congaree National Park boasts a rich array of biodiversity. Visitors will find towering trees—some of the tallest in the eastern U.S.—and a variety of wildlife, including river otters, bobcats, and alligators. The Congaree River flows through the park, and a scenic boardwalk trail winds through its swamp-like environment for visitors to enjoy. Greg, who has served as superintendent since 2022, offers listeners an iconic 24-hour itinerary in Congaree, dispels myths about the park, discusses the unique floodplain ecosystem, and shares about restoration efforts to reintroduce the endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker. He even provides insight into the fun South Carolina Pimento Cheese Passport.
