The Friends of South
Cumberland State Recreation Area, Inc. is a group of 100-percent
volunteer citizens dedicated to supporting the South Cumberland State
Recreation Area, Tennessee's largest state wilderness park. Some of our
goals are:
-
To educate the public
about the unique qualities of the Park
-
To promote the use of the
Park as an environmental, wilderness and biodiversity resource
-
To encourage the
development of the Park to meet the recreational needs of park visitors
and area residents
-
To work with the Park to
develop and implement plans to protect and preserve the unique
wilderness and recreational resource that the South Cumberland State
Recreation Area represents, including the acquisition of property and
conservation easements
-
To preserve biodiversity
and a true wilderness experience for current and future generations
As a non-profit membership
corporation Friends of South Cumberland funding is derived from
individual and corporate memberships and from private donations. Our
group was founded in 1993 and our tax deductible status is approved as
of July, 1994. We are a 501(c)3 non profit public benefit corporation
and your membership and donations are Federal tax deductible.
A 1993 law passed by the
Tennessee General Assembly allows state parks to contract with and
receive financial assistance from a friends group organized according to
the law. Now, private citizens can be involved and support the park
through volunteer work and financial donations.
Please join us in supporting
and protecting the South Cumberland State Recreation Area. Members will
receive our newsletter, can participate in Friends of South Cumberland
meetings and serve on committees and special park projects.
