A house RESOLUTION

to proclaim June 2025 as "South Carolina Trails 
Month" and encourage residents to take advantage of the abundance of trails in 
this State and enjoy the countless health, learning, and social benefits that 
can be derived from their use.

Whereas, the Palmetto 
State is blessed with an abundance of trails for walking, cycling, and hiking that 
provide countless health, learning, and social benefits for their users; and

Whereas, these trails 
help users connect with South Carolina's multitude of natural treasures, 
ranging from waterfalls and spectacular mountain views in the Upstate, rolling 
hills and placid lakes in the Midlands, wide marshes and intriguing swamps in 
the Lowcountry and sandy beaches and ocean breezes along the coast; and

Whereas, by enabling 
people to spend time in nature, these trails facilitate the ability of users to 
enjoy numerous associated health benefits including reductions in diabetes and 
obesity, improvements in cardiovascular health, increases in strength and 
balance, and enhancements in mental outlook through stress reduction, 
relaxation, and social interaction; and

Whereas, these trails 
provide an ideal place for hiking, which can provide opportunities to 
strengthen family ties and friendships. Working to maintain and protect a local 
trail can help provide a greater sense of community pride and collective 
achievement; and

Whereas, the presence 
and availability of trails can enhance the overall quality of life in our 
communities and attract new residents, businesses, and visitors throughout the 
State; and

Whereas, the United 
States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land 
Management, and National Parks Service along with the United States Department 
of Agriculture Forest Service have partnered to support National Trails Day 
being celebrated this year on June 7, 2025. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, proclaim 
June 2025 as "South Carolina Trails Month" and encourage residents to take 
advantage of the abundance of trails in this State and enjoy the countless health, 
learning, and social benefits that can be derived from their use.
