Charleston Boneyard Beach Forest Botany Bay SC Stock Image

When sea levels rise and sands shift, maritime forests fall to the elements. At Botany Bay Plantation near Charleston, SC, the ocean has reclaimed part of the island, consumed trees and left them standing as sculptural remnants of trunks and roots standing on the tide line. This tree is part of the boneyard or skeleton forest at Botany Bay, Edisto Island, SC.
