The Town of Whitmire has leased the old “Speedy Leaman’s” filling station to TERA for our offices. We have a bit of work to get the building in shape, some of which has already been done. We’d like to thank both West Electrical of Newberry and Roche Pharmacy of Whitmire for lending a hand with getting our electrical service updated and installed.

We have a bit of cosmetic work to do, as you can see, some siding and trim boards that need replacing, a few broken windows and odds and ends. We already have a bit of lumber donated by our friend Ed Cole to get most of that taken care of. Anyone else that would like to donate, time, expertise or materials, please contact Jon Durham @ (803) 271 6701. If you would like to make a monetary donation to help us along, use the PayPal “Donate” buttons on this page.

We’ll keep you posted on progress to the new office.

The Tyger and Enoree Rivers are tributaries of the Broad River, in the Santee Watershed. They flow through a vital and scenic corridor of South Carolina and the Sumter National Forest.

A foremost authority on South Carolina Rivers, Mr. Barry Beasley, wrote in 1998: The Tyger River is “one of the state's last remaining wilderness adventures.” This unspoiled natural corridor is arguably the Upcountry's greatest treasure.

The sister of the Tyger, the Enoree, winds through 36 miles of the Sumter National Forrest. Meaning “river of muscadines” to the Cherokee, the wild grapes can be found all along the lower section of the river. The narrow and shallow waters are popular with back water paddlers.

The River alliance was conceived in 2006. A concerned land owner on the river discovered the results of a trash bag (full of disposable diapers) thrown from Gordon's Bridge. The contents, strewn along the river for miles, demonstrated how a single individual could threaten the river.
