The Aiken Land Conservancy is gearing up for its ninth annual Clays for Conservation event on November 30, and it promises to be a day full of fun, camaraderie, and a shared passion for the great outdoors.

What’s All the Fuss About?

Clays for Conservation is much more than just a shooting competition; it’s a community gathering centered around a worthy cause. Over the last decade, this event has brought together residents, conservation advocates, and outdoor enthusiasts, all united by a common goal: to protect and preserve our beautiful landscapes. This year is especially special as we celebrate the 10th annual fundraiser, a testament to the enduring spirit of community and conservation in Aiken.

Event Details

The event will take place at the Palmetto Shooting Complex in Edgefield, providing the perfect backdrop for a day filled with sporting clays and friendly competition. Participants can expect a full round of clays, a catered lunch, and an open bar featuring beer, wine, and even Bloody Marys. It’s a fantastic opportunity to relax, enjoy great food, and connect with others who share your love for the outdoors while making a positive impact.
