Mesmerized by the beauty that you see at Hunting Island State Park and wish you could take it home with you? Friends of Hunting Island has announced the publication of a new Hunting Island Coffee Table Book, titled Wild Island Nature, and it’s got all the goods inside.
“Some places on this earth call us back over and over. They take hold of our hearts and our imaginations, and we return often to remind ourselves of their endlessly reshaped beauty and their wild nature. Hunting Island is such a place.”
This island has inspired countless photographers and artists for generations. Now those inspirations have been collected in a new coffee table book, Wild Island Nature, which includes images and text about Hunting Island State Park and Saint Phillips Island.
Because of the rapid changes occurring on Hunting Island, author Carol Corbin felt moved to memorialize and preserve what has been and what’s there now. Over 30 photographers contributed works to the book, and it includes archival images illustrating the island’s history.
We also can see in these pages hints of what Hunting Island’s future may be.
In 2017, South Carolina Parks, Recreation and Tourism purchased Saint Phillips Island, media mogul Ted Turner’s rustic get away for nearly 40 years. Accessible only by boat, the island has become a sought-after destination for both day trips and week-long stays.
This book includes images from Saint Phillips because it is now part of the South Carolina Parks system and overseen by Hunting Island State Park.
Published by Starbooks, this Uine art book is available in two versions, a hardback edition and a special limited boxed edition. A combination of both editions is also available.
The books can be purchased from Friends of Hunting Island, and all proceeds will be used to support the organization’s work at Hunting Island.
It also will be sold in local stores and is available at https://www.friendsofhuntingisland.org/shop.
