Feb. 28 Downtown
The FYE class took a long stroll through the central campus of the College of Charleston to view the horticulture and then westward on the peninsula through Bull street to reach the Alberta Sottile Long Lake as the final destination. The weather was a sunny 77 degrees day with slight wind sunny conditions. The class began the class with a lecture on low country oysters and the economic impact it had on the Charleston area. As we looked at old maps, the class saw the change in the Charleston coastline and how the city was built on a marsh. We then identified different species of trees and animals as we passed by the historic homes of downtown Charleston.
