MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the Palmetto Conservation Foundation is to conserve South Carolina's natural and cultural resources, preserve historic buildings and landmarks, and promote outdoor recreation with trails and greenways. |
Since 1989, the Palmetto Conservation Foundation, its members and supporters have brought a research-based, non-adversarial approach to conservation, preservation, and recreation issues in South Carolina.
Operating as a statewide nonprofit organization with offices in Columbia and Spartanburg, PCF seeks to build widespread consensus on the most appropriate ways for South Carolina's communities to grow and prosper while maintaining local character and quality of life. We strive to form community consensus on long-term, sustainable development patterns that can provide lasting benefits for citizens while embracing the need for growth.
Palmetto Conservation Foundation stresses its non-adversarial stance. PCF does not file litigation. We offer technical assistance at local invitation only and seek to build consensus through open discussion of problems and solutions.
The Foundation board has adopted six programs:
- Conservation of natural and cultural resources
- Preservation of historic resources
- Promoting public access to natural and historic resources
- Military Heritage Preservation
- Encouraging sustainable economic development policies
- Publishing educational and recreational guides
Today, PCF is governed by a distinguished 25-member board of directors from across South Carolina. It has a core staff of 9 and maintains ongoing relationships with many research fellows and associates who work with us on a project-by-project basis.
