Make a Gift to the Parks!

Why Should You Make a Gift to the Friends?
South Cumberland and Savage Gulf State Parks now protect over 31,000 acres of pristine Tennessee wilderness. Although this is great news, more land, and more visitors, creates new and urgent unmet needs for these parks. Trails must be maintained or upgraded. Trail bridges require maintenance or replacement. Additional interpretive and wayfinding signage is needed. Guided hikes, seminars and workshops, including programs for area school children, must be prepared and delivered. And, the work of conserving additional environmentally-significant lands is far from complete. Your support makes possible the many initiatives of the Friends of South Cumberland State Parks, a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization, working to protect, maintain and enhance two of Tennessee's largest and most spectacular state parks!

As one of our outstanding Park Rangers said, "The best thing that has ever happened to South Cumberland is the formation of our Friends group. They have purchased land to add to your park, have provided construction materials, built bridges, a ranger house, picnic shelters, rescue equipment for the rangers, helped build, assess, and maintain trails, created education programs for our local schools, totally renovated the Park's Information & Welcome Center, created the new interpretive area at the site of the Civilian Conservation Corps camp, improved access to Greeter Falls, and have made many other improvements to your parks. If you love these parks, join the Friends and help them work with us to care for and improve these wonderful wilderness resources!"

By making a Gift to the Friends, you can help insure that both South Cumberland and Savage Gulf State Parks will always be safe, well-maintained and amazing places to experience world-class natural beauty!  Your gift supports the work of the Friends of South Cumberland, on behalf of the Parks. You will be empowering a group working to save great spaces in the South Cumberland and help protect and maintain these magnificent parks. You'll receive the monthly Trail Tracker email to keep you updated on Friends and Parks news, events and volunteer opportunities.
