Taychoedah

42 acres | Oconee County

Taychoedah, derived from a Native American word meaning "camp by the water," is a 42-acre property near Lake Keowee in Oconee County.

The location and unique properties of this land provide suitable habitat for the propagation and enhancement of the rare Oconee bell. Protecting properties such as Taychoedah, located within the known geographical range of its historical distribution and appropriate moist and wooded conditions, are imperative to the future of this rare, endemic plant species. The protection of this property also helps safeguard water quality on Cornhouse Creek, a tributary of Lake Keowee.

Project funders include the Oconee County Conservation Bank.
