Open House at Park’s Mill Rocky Shoals Spider Lily Preserve
We are excited about the upcoming open house event at the Parks Mill Spiderlily Preserve! Here is an article from SCNPS with the details:
We are planning to offer guided visits on Saturday, May 14, and May 21, through the Parks Mill Shoals Spiderlily Preserve during the peak bloom period. This spectacular native lily thrives in fast running water in shoaly areas of lower piedmont streams. The Preserve is near the town of Plum Branch, and consists of 15 acres of woodland, a large population of shoal’s spider lilies in Stevens Creek, and a reasonably intact turbine-powered grist mill. This site was protected through the joint efforts of the SC Native Plant Society, Naturaland Trust in Greenville, and the Upper Savannah Land Trust in Greenwood.
Date and Time
Saturday May 21, 2022

This site is protected, and access is available only by appointment, and with a responsible member of the Preserve Protection team present. For this reason, we are offering open-house style events on Saturday, May 14, and May 21, 2022. For social distancing purposes, we are offering morning (9:00 – 12:00) and afternoon (1:00 – 4:00) visiting hours. We ask that you register in advance to visit the Site during a morning or afternoon period on May 14 or May 21. Please indicate your preference of date and morning vs afternoon. Please indicate the number of visitors in your party. We may have to assign you to a time slot to maintain safe social distancing, but we will try to accommodate your wishes.
