This resolution recognizes June 2025 as "South Carolina Trails Month" to celebrate the state's extensive trail network and promote their benefits. The resolution highlights South Carolina's diverse natural landscapes, including mountain regions, lakes, marshes, swamps, and coastal areas, which provide numerous trails for walking, cycling, and hiking. The document emphasizes the significant health advantages of trail use, such as reducing diabetes and obesity, improving cardiovascular health, enhancing physical strength and balance, and providing mental health benefits like stress reduction and social interaction. Additionally, the resolution notes that trails can strengthen community bonds, provide opportunities for family and friend connections, and potentially attract new residents, businesses, and visitors to the state. The resolution is aligned with the national initiative supported by federal agencies like the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture, which is hosting National Trails Day on June 7, 2025, and aims to encourage South Carolina residents to explore and enjoy the state's trail system.
