Meeting to be held to establish Friends of Lynches River
The National Park Service Rivers, Trails & Conservation Assistance Program will host a limited-space meeting March 25 to kick off the establishment of a friends group for the Lynches River.
“The Florence Convention and Visitors Bureau is honored to work with the National Parks Service in this project to build awareness of our natural resources,” said Holly Beaumier, director of the Florence Convention and Visitors Bureau. “The Friends of the SC Revolutionary Rivers group will be the foundation for increasing stewardship and conservation of the 60 miles of Lynches River designated as a National Recreation Trail.”
The National Park Service awarded a grant to the Florence CVB for community assistance in a program that “supports successful partnerships with communities across America in achieving their conservation and outdoor recreation visions.”
The grant helps the South Carolina Revolutionary Rivers project, which is a fun and educational river trail that highlights the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution and offers paddlers a unique experience of following the scenic river to the cypress and tupelo-laden stomping grounds of Revolutionary War hero General Francis Marion.
The meeting space is limited. To reserve your space, call the Florence County Convention and Visitors Bureau at 843-664-0330.
