Conestee Nature Preserve (CNP) is proud to announce the grand reopening of its beloved West Bay Boardwalk on Wednesday, September 17, 2025. This moment in recovery comes almost exactly one year after Hurricane Helene devastated the region and left significant damage in its wake. This critical work was made possible by Fluor’s Golf for Greenville charity golf tournament.
