From the wooded uplands to the beaches, animals thrive in the rich natural environment of Kiawah Island. Deer, bobcats, gray foxes, raccoons, river otters, and ospreys are just a few of the many animals that can be found here. Our expert team of professionals is responsible for monitoring and management of our wildlife, along with the Kiawah Island Community Association and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.

First Deer Survey Of 2025
Town Biologists conducted a spotlight survey on January 28 - 29 to determine the white-tailed deer density on Kiawah Island. During the survey, as these counts are made, you may see lights shining across yards and golf courses. These surveys are done twice yearly and allow biologists to track deer population trends over time.
