June 1 is National Trails Day
According
to American Hiking Society's website, "Trails do not just magically
appear for our enjoyment; it takes many hours of planning, labor and
negotiating to develop them. National Trails Day, the only nationwide
celebration of trails, increases awareness of trails and celebrates the
hard work and support of many people and partners -- including
volunteers, land agencies and outdoor minded businesses. It is also a
day to introduce people to the many joys and benefits of trails."Celebrate the Palmetto Trail with PCF on June 1, 2013 as we hike, bike, paddle and camp at Poinsett State Park in Sumter, SC. Look for more details about this year's festivities in future newsletters.
