It’s no secret that Hilton Head Island is beautiful. While keeping the island clean and looking nice is always a priority, the main reason the island always looks pristine and natural, is due to its start as the United States’ first eco-planned community.<\/strong> Preserving natural habitats as Hilton Head grew into what it is today was the main goal from the start.
