Build shared understanding of how sacred spaces function environmentally, historically, and culturally.

Presented by Charleston Horticultural Society, Preservation Society of Charleston, Carolina Ocean Alliance, and The M.A.R.S.H. Project 

The Lowcountry’s historic cemeteries are anchors of the region’s cultural identity that serve as critical, often overlooked, ecological refuges. Join us for a short film screening and panel discussion to build shared understanding of how sacred spaces function environmentally, historically, and culturally.
