Project Prothonotary is a joint conservation effort to enhance nesting habitat for Prothonotary Warblers in South Carolina. Last month, SCWF staff Jay Keck and Savannah Jordan joined Zach Steinhauser and the US Forest Service to check Prothonotary Warbler nest boxes previously installed at Sumter National Forest.

Last fall, SCWF's Habitat Education Manager, Jay Keck, was interviewed by Michael Falero, a contributor to the popular national nature podcast, BirdNote. They chose to talk about the prothonotary warbler, a declining species, and SCWF's efforts to help save it by installing and monitoring nesting boxes on public land at the Congaree Creek Heritage Preserve in Lexington county, SC.
