Jay Reese
Park Manager
Welcome! My name is Jay Reese, and I am the park manager at May Forest State Park. As a kid growing up camping, fishing, exploring, hiking and learning to play golf in state parks, I was always SO excited to see a park ranger! When I was around 8 or 9 years-old, I received my Junior Forest Ranger hat and badge. I wore them all the time. Now I can proudly say, my Junior Forest Ranger hat and badge has been replaced with a South Carolina State Park hat and badge. My Junior Forest Ranger badge still sits on my desk reminding me of the amazing experiences I had as a kid and the lasting memories I am part of today!
One of my favorite spots at May Forest is sitting on the swing that sits on the bluff overlooking the Charleston Harbor. If you're a first-time visitor to the park, I would encourage you to take some time to experience the stunning view of the Charleston Harbor.
