July News & Updates from SCWF
June News & Updates from SCWF
We're almost halfway through 2020 and every month seems to meet us with a new twist and turn. Because of coronavirus, we shifted our classes online with great success. The events surrounding the #BlackLivesMatter movement have challenged us to take a necessary look at our own diversity practices, leading to a new diversity statement and a shift in numerous internal procedures. We still do not know how the rest of the year will unfold, but we know that nature is resilient and provides peace in challenging times. As the oldest conservation nonprofit in South Carolina, we vow to continue our work to sustain South Carolina's natural resources and make the outdoors a place for everyone to enjoy.
