Make a Gift to the Park!
Why Should You Make a Gift to the Friends?
Now protecting more than 30,800 acres, South Cumberland is the largest State Park in Tennessee. Although this is great news, more land, and more visitors, creates new and urgent unmet needs for the park. Trails must be maintained or upgraded. Improved trailheads, interpretive and directional signage are needed. Invasive pests, like the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid, and invasive plants must be controlled. 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.
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 your Visitor Center, created the new interpretive area at the site of the Civilian Conservation Corps camp, and have made many other improvements to your park. If you love the park, join the Friends and help them work with us to care for and improve this wonderful wilderness resource!"
By making a Gift to the Friends, you can help insure that South Cumberland will always be a safe, well-maintained and amazing place to experience world-class natural beauty! Your gift supports the work of the Friends of South Cumberland, on behalf of the Park. You will be empowering a group working to save great spaces in the South Cumberland and help protect and maintain this magnificent park. You'll receive the monthly Trail Tracker email to keep you updated on Friends and Park news, events and volunteer opportunities.
