A major factor addressed by the Noisette Master Plan is restoration of wild open areas and the watershed that serves such a critically important function to area ecology.

Noisette Creek is one example. This is the community’s main local branch of the Cooper River’s tidal flow, and its course has been extensively modified by industrial and military development over the last few decades. Much of this development will be reversed in the course of Noisette progress.

Marsh habitats will be restored and a network of trails established to give residents a variety of ways to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. A small golf course built by the Navy is gradually reverting to its natural state, and a variety of structures on and around the creek will be deconstructed as light-impact features like the Riverfront Park are developed.
To help assure these and other open lands and waterways a sustainable future, they will be acquired by an organization called the Michaux Conservancy and Land Trust.
