Thank you to everyone who showed up for trail stewardship in honor of Dr. King’s legacy of service!

Your time and effort made a real difference on our trails and in our community. Volunteers helped care for the Mary H. Wright Greenway, Three Creeks Trail, and Duncan Park, supporting invasive removal, litter cleanup, and general trail care to ensure the trails maintain their excellence.

We are extremely grateful for each person who chose to serve and make an impact together!

PAL remains engaged with local leadership and public safety to care for and support our trail system. With community support, we are raising funds to install surveillance cameras at key trailheads and support additional safety measures.

These steps are part of ongoing efforts to support trail use and safety. They are intended to help maintain spaces used by many residents and visitors.

This work depends on the support of our community, and we’re grateful to everyone who helps make these efforts possible.

Eat More Greens! 🥬

There are so many fruits and vegetables that we are able to grow here in South Carolina during the winter months. It may seem dreary and gray outside, but farmers are still hard at work harvesting vitamin-packed produce like greens and citrus.

Greens, like kale, collards, and mustards, are full of nutrients that strengthen our immune system and improve overall health. They are also full of fiber to keep things moving. Here are some ideas for how to add more to your weekly meal rotation.
