Ernest F. Hollings ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge
The Ernest F. Hollings ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge, steeped in cultural history and natural resources, is located within the larger 350,000-acre Ashepoo-Combahee-Edisto (ACE) Basin System, which represents one of the largest undeveloped wetland ecosystems remaining on the Atlantic Coast. The Ashepoo, Combahee, and Edisto Rivers form the extensive estuaries and sections of the Refuge boundary. E.F.H. ACE Basin NWR comprises two units, the Combahee and Edisto, which encompass bottomland and upland forests, fresh and salt water marsh and managed impoundments.
