Welcome to Inlet and Bay Stewards
First Day Hike - 2025
​
January 1, 2025
10:00AM
​
Please join us for the 2nd Annual First Day Hike. A great way to kick off 2025, from 10:00AM-12:00PM on January 1, 2025. Fresh air, scenic salt marsh views and the camaraderie of like-minded friends of the North Inlet-Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR).
We will be offering a longer hike and a shorter hike depending on your interest. Visit either Clambank Landing or Oyster Landing on Reserve property at Hobcaw Barony. Dress for the weather, bring a snack and something to drink, binoculars, camera and whatever else you want to enjoy a hike into the natural salt marsh habitat. Meet up in the Hobcaw Barony parking lot, and please register at the following link so we have a good headcount:
We will be riding around the property in a 14-passenger bus, with some limited walking along the way. Please pack a lunch or snack, and you may want to bring water, a hat, bug spray, binoculars and anything else to make your tour comfortable. Participation will be limited to 14 people.

What we do
We are your ambassadors to the North Inlet-Winyah Bay Reserve! The only thing we love more than learning about our estuary is sharing what we learn in one of the most beautiful settings in South Carolina.
​
We play an active role in Reserve school programs, helping children discover the wonder of fiddler crabs and snails, while enhancing their science education.
​
We also educate and energize our fellow citizens through events like the Carolina Beach and River Clean Up and workshops on topics including how to build your own rain barrel.
