About the Harry Hampton Fund:

    The Harry R.E. Hampton Memorial Wildlife Fund, Inc. is a private, non-profit corporation which partners with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for the promotion of education, research, management and the administration of game and fish laws, which benefit conservation of wildlife, marine and other natural resources in South Carolina. Funds are obtained solely through private donations and special promotional projects, fund-raising events and publications.
    The Hampton Fund is governed by a board of directors from across South Carolina, who serve on a strictly voluntary basis. The Fund is named for Harry Hampton, an avid conservationist and writer whose syndicated column was written for The State Newspaper in Columbia.
    As the founding father of South Carolina’s conservation movement, Harry R. E. Hampton stands in the forefront as one of the great leaders of the Palmetto State. Hampton’s conservation interests culminated in 1931 with a massive publicity campaign to organize a game and fish association, instigate natural resources legislation, and form a state game commission. The resulting association later became the South Carolina Wildlife Federation.
   While Federation president, Hampton’s constant hounding of the legislature influenced game and fish laws as well as the formation of the State Wildlife Department and the Commission in 1952 (now the Department of Natural Resources.)  Hampton’s 20-year battle to preserve the Congaree River bottom also ended in success with the Congaree’s establishment as a National Natural Monument in 1976. It has since been designated as a National Park.
    Mr. Hampton died in 1980. A year later the Hampton Fund was formed.
