Support the Palmetto Trail
Every mile of the Palmetto Trail tells a story. It connects communities, protects South Carolina's natural beauty, and creates opportunities for people of all ages to explore, discover, and enjoy the outdoors. When you give to the Palmetto Trail, you're investing in more than a trail. You're helping preserve a statewide resource that inspires adventure, strengthens communities, and connects people with the places that make South Carolina unique.
This is your opportunity to be part of South Carolina’s history. Every gift, large or small, strengthens the Palmetto Trail mission. Whether it is $25 for safety equipment, $2,500 to launch conservation education & preservation, or $5,000 for essential trail-building equipment, your contribution becomes a permanent part of South Carolina’s narrative. The mountains are calling. The sea is waiting. The trail between them needs your help to connect them.
Your gift affirms that when a community comes together, we can create something truly remarkable, a 500-mile testament to what is possible when we work for the common good. Become a Palmetto Trail supporter today, and help us connect what we started 32 years ago.
