Subject: Important Reminder - Do Not Feed Waterfowl, Including Geese
Dear Residents,
This is a friendly reminder to all members of The Bluffs Community regarding the importance of not feeding waterfowl, such as ducks, swans, and geese. While it may seem harmless or enjoyable, feeding these birds can lead to overpopulation, health issues for the wildlife, property damage, and conflicts within our community.
More importantly, please be aware that feeding migratory waterfowl, including geese, is in violation of Horry County Ordinance. This law, enacted in 2019, prohibits feeding such animals on most properties, with potential fines of up to $500 for violations. The ordinance applies throughout Horry County, including our community, unless on designated Wildlife Management Areas.
We kindly ask everyone to refrain from feeding any waterfowl to help maintain a balanced ecosystem, comply with local laws, and preserve the beauty of our neighborhood. If you observe any issues related to wildlife, please contact community management for assistance.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping The Bluffs a wonderful place to live.
Best regards,
The Board of Directors
