Giving Back
At our organization, giving back to the community is at the heart of what we do. Currently, we are proud to support the Rails to Trails project, which transforms unused railway corridors into beautiful multi-use paths, encouraging outdoor recreation and conservation. Additionally, we are working on a universally accessible kayak launch located on Tallulah Falls Lake, ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability, can enjoy our waterways. Together, these initiatives reflect our commitment to fostering inclusive and sustainable community spaces
