MIDDLETON PLACE RECEIVES SPECIAL RECOGNITION AT SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR'S CONFERENCE

Middleton Place received a special Sustainability Award at the 44th annual South Carolina Governor's Conference on Tourism and Travel held February 17-19 on Hilton Head Island.
 
During this year's awards luncheon, Chad Prosser, Director of the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, recognized Middleton Place for "its extensive, leading-edge efforts in modern sustainability, conservation and eco-friendly practices." Prosser also noted "Middleton Place's efforts in protecting the scenic view shed along the Ashley River and placing thousands of acres of woods and swamp into conservation easements, expanding its nature-based recreational opportunities, and maintaining membership in major 'green' hotel, wildlife and other nature groups."
