About Sewee Visitor and Environmental Education Center

The Sewee Center serves as the visitor hub for Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge and the neighboring Francis Marion National Forest. Inside, interactive exhibits trace the region's ecosystems from forest to sea and explain local wildlife and management work. A one-mile loop trail passes the Sewee Pond, freshwater ponds, swamp wetlands, and pine forest, and a platform lets visitors watch endangered red wolves housed on site. Visitors can also find an orientation film, a book sales outlet, native pollinator gardens, and recreation information. The center runs year-round educational programs for families, groups, and schools, and hosts annual events such as a spring nature festival and a youth fishing rodeo.
