    New BBC Documentary

    Last May, a crew from the British Broadcasting Corporation visited Kiawah to film the island’s alligators as a part of a new wildlife documentary Cities: Nature’s New Wild. The show highlights remarkable ways animals are adapting to urban growth. Kiawah is featured in the third episode Outcasts.  Watch a segment of it here. The full episode will air in the U.S. later this year on PBS. Thank you to the Kiawah Island Golf Resort for their collaboration with the Town on this exciting project.
