Online calendar keeps you informed about DNR events

When and where is the next S.C. Natural Resources Board meeting? How many days does the Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic run? You can now get details on activities around the state and getnotices to your e-mail inbox with the new online calendar.

You can specialize the calendar in a variety of ways from conservations districts to S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) meetings and search for specific events.
