The South Eastern Wildlife and Environment Education Association, Inc., (SEWEE Association) is a non-profit corporation formed to support the mission of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge as a cooperating association under an agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

We began in 1996 as the Sewee Center was preparing to open with our first goal being to open a book sales area within the center on opening day.  Since that time, we have continued to run a successful sales area and have expanded our role.  We have funded exhibits at the Sewee Center and an observation blind on Bulls Island in Cape Romain NWR.  We have been a major partner with the refuge in the creation of the education programs at the Center and of the Sewee Earth Stewards program taught in fifth-grade classes throughout the Charleston area. 

Sewee Earth Stewards students discover what is found in "My Square Kingdom" at I'on Swamp.

What are we doing now?

	Funding an Education Assistant for the Sewee Center -- this person coordinates the educational programs at the Center and makes sure that they meet the state education standards.
	Sewee Earth Stewards -- an eight-week curriculum on freshwater wetlands for fifth-grade students.  Teachers are trained on the lessons and activities and our Education Assistant provides the live animals and assistance for the classes.  Over 400 students participate each year!!
	Volunteers - we help with the activities of the Sewee Center and the refuge
	Working with other SC refuges - we have begun working with ACE Basin NWR, Waccamaw NWR and others to provide the same support as we have with Cape Romain.
