• The Newhall Preserve is a place to see and study the vegetation of the island in a convenient, compact area encompassing pine/saw palmetto flatwoods, hardwoods and wetlands including a pond and a pocosin (ground-water wetland). Some endangered and rare plants have been collected and given a favorable environment here.  Audubon volunteers maintain trailside labels to identify the numerous plant species found in the Preserve.
• The aerated pond with pier was restored in 1993.  The area around the pond can be a productive birding spot for warblers and other migrants in the spring and fall.
• A pristine 50-acre preserve created by the founders of Sea Pines as a gift to prominent conservationist Caroline “Beany” Newhall. She created a fund for its maintenance and deeded it to the Hilton Head Island Audubon Society in 1976.  The Society has maintained the Preserve ever since.
