The Juice is loose!🪲💃🏻🍤
They’re here and ready for trouble. Asian Longhorned Beetles have been positively identified in Mount Pleasant, SC. This is the second confirmed outbreak in Charleston County, and among the six infested U.S. States. This is bad news, but fortunately Mount Pleasant caught this outbreak early.
We need residents to Beetlecheck, Beetlecheck, Beetlecheck their yards and trees for these invasive pests. Look for exit holes, egg sites, and sawdust from larval feeding, all of which are signs that these beetles are eating your trees alive. Take a look at our list of which trees they like to eat. If you suspect that your tree is indeed infested with Asian Longhorned Beetles, REPORT IT. Clemson Extension and the USDA would be more than happy to look at your tree and the pictures you provide.
To contain these harmful beetles, a quarantine on woody material and debris will be imposed on large sections of Mount Pleasant. Details are still forthcoming, but preliminary regulations have been included for your reference.
Let’s squash this problem before it flies away from us. Economic damages are estimated at $669 BILLION dollars if these beetles become established.

Another opportunity to add native plants to your yards and community spaces!!

Native plants are better for wildlife. Native plants play an important role in supporting local ecosystems with food resources in ways that foreign and ornamental species do not. Our most eco-friendly landscaping plants are those from the Southeastern United States.

For generations, we’ve often chosen exotic ornamental plants for our yards and landscapes. That had been the norm, but now it’s time to rethink those habits and make Mount Pleasant a safe haven for wildlife. By planting native species, you can help provide butterflies, birds, bees, and other critters with the food and habitat they need to thrive.

And we can’t do it alone! Every yard, patio, and landscaped space is part of a much larger ecological puzzle. When we each make small changes to the plants we choose, those individual efforts can add up to thousands of acres of improved wildlife habitat throughout our community.

Not sure where to find native plants or what to choose? No problem—they’re coming to you!

This spring, Mount Pleasant will co-host the South Carolina Native Plant Society’s Native Plant Market at the Mount Pleasant Farmer’s Market. Join us to shop hundreds of native plants and connect with knowledgeable native plant experts.

Native Plant Market
Saturday, October 10th
9 a.m.–noon
Mount Pleasant Farmer’s Market
645 Coleman Blvd.
https://scnps.org/

Fall is a wonderful time to plant, giving your newly purchased native plants a reprieve from the summer heat.

The South Carolina Native Plant Society Lowcountry Chapter will host a farmer’s-market-style native plant sale featuring several vendors. With a huge variety of native plants available, there will be plenty to explore. A full list of vendors is available online.

Each vendor will manage its own checkout and accept cash, checks, or credit cards. Be sure to bring a wagon or box to make it easier to transport your new plants to your car.

Admission is free to everyone!

Plant native. Support wildlife. Help make Mount Pleasant a thriving habitat for the creatures we all love.

🐟🏊🦀⛵Help protect the waterways we all share!

Did you know storm drains carry rainwater directly to our local waterways? That means anything dumped down a storm drain—chemicals, grease, trash, or other pollutants—can make its way into the creeks, rivers, and waterways where we fish, swim, boat, and enjoy nature.

🚫 Storm drains are not a disposal site.

One simple way to help prevent pollution is by marking storm drains with educational markers. These markers remind everyone that what goes into a storm drain can impact our waterways.

💙Want to help make a difference in Mount Pleasant?

The Town of Mount Pleasant provides FREE storm drain marking supplies for volunteers, including:
• Storm drain markers
• Glue
• Gloves
• A map of drains in your target area

All you need is HOA or business permission to mark the drains in your neighborhood.

Let’s work together to keep our waterways clean, healthy, and safe for everyone—because we all live downstream! 🌊

August wanted us to tell you something…
…YOU’RE a star!🌟
August is the time of year when students head back to school. That means some extra chaos for all of us as we face more traffic, school shopping, sports programs, and more. Even with a little more chaos in your lives, you still crushed the composting program for another month!! It was YOU that contributed to our 3980 pounds / 1.99 tons of food waste collected in August. That’s a lot of banana peels, coffee grounds, veggie scraps, and leftovers doing some good♻️
Haven’t joined yet? What are you waiting for? 👀 This program is FREE, and once you register online, you’ll get an access code that works at all 23 participating drop sites across the Charleston area. You can register through the link in our bio.
So keep saving those scraps, Mount Pleasant. Y’all are making a difference, one food scrap at a time. 🌎💚
August - composted✅
September - compost class is in session 💪🏫🥇

Join Us for South Carolina’s Largest Single-Day Clean-Up Event!🧹🌊
Help us make a difference in our community and protect the waterways we love!💙 In support of statewide efforts to reduce litter, Mount Pleasant will host a litter clean-up at Shem Creek Park on September 19 at 8:30 a.m. 🌿
As a participating location in South Carolina’s Beach/River Sweep, Mount Pleasant staff will once again lead a land-based litter sweep at Shem Creek Park. Volunteers will focus on removing trash from the marsh and surrounding areas to help protect the health of our estuary ecosystem. 🐢🦀🌱

We’ll provide the supplies you need, including:
• 🦯 Litter pickers
• 🦺 Safety vests
• 🧤 Gloves
• 🗑️ Trash bags
• 🪏 Disposal of all collected litter
Volunteers should bring a reusable water bottle💧, sunscreen☀️, a hat🧢, and anything else they may need to stay comfortable outdoors for a few hours. Shem Creek Park also has restrooms 🚻, seating, and shaded areas🌳 available for volunteers.
📧To register or ask questions, please email [email protected]. Additional event details will be shared with registered volunteers as the event approaches.
🗑️Why Does Litter Matter in Mount Pleasant?
Litter isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a major source of pollution in Mount Pleasant’s stormwater system.🌧️ Unlike wastewater, stormwater is not treated before it reaches our waterways. That means litter that enters a storm drain can ultimately make its way into our creeks, marshes, and rivers. 🌊
By removing litter before it reaches our waterways, we can help protect local wildlife🐬, water quality💧, and the health of our coastal ecosystems🌿.
Whether you’re looking to earn service hours🎓 or simply want to help keep Mount Pleasant beautiful, this clean-up is a great opportunity to get involved!💚
🙌 Can’t Make It on September 19?
No problem! Mount Pleasant staff can help facilitate another clean-up event and provide supplies for your group to use.🧤🗑️
Together, we can keep Mount Pleasant clean, protect our waterways, and make a difference—one piece of litter at a time!💙🌎

Stormwater ain't Wastewater!!!🌧️🚫🚽
Since we've had a stint rainy days, it’s a good time for an annual refresher: stormwater and wastewater are two very different things—and knowing the difference matters!
🌧️ What is stormwater?
Stormwater is rainwater that runs off surfaces like roads, sidewalks, driveways, and rooftops instead of soaking into the ground. That runoff enters storm drains and flows through the stormwater system to our creeks, rivers, and waterways.
Unlike wastewater, stormwater is not treated before it reaches our waterways. That means anything carried by runoff—from fertilizers and chemicals to pet waste and trash—can end up downstream and affect the quality of the water where we swim, fish, and boat.
That’s why we say: Only Rain Down the Drain! ☔️
The next time you see something besides rainwater entering a storm drain, ask yourself: Would I swim in this?
🚽 What is wastewater?
Wastewater is water that comes from indoor plumbing, such as sinks, showers, toilets, and appliances. It travels through a separate sewer system to a wastewater treatment facility, where it is treated before being safely discharged.
In Mount Pleasant, the wastewater system is operated by Mount Pleasant Waterworks.
📢 Questions or concerns?

Let’s all do our part to keep our waterways clean! 🌊🏖️
Only Rain Down the Drain!

Did you know that the rat poison used to control rodents can also harm the wildlife that helps keep rodent populations in check?

Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) can remain in rodents long after they're exposed. When owls, hawks, osprey, foxes, bobcats, and other predators eat poisoned prey, they can suffer deadly secondary poisoning. These products can also pose a serious risk to pets.

The good news? There are safer, effective alternatives. Simple steps like sealing entry points, using snap or electronic traps, reducing food sources, and supporting natural predators can help manage rodents while protecting the wildlife that makes Mount Pleasant such a special place.

By choosing wildlife-friendly rodent control methods, we can all help protect the incredible animals that call the Lowcountry home.
