Outdoor Safety in the South

An adventure into the great outdoors has many benefits, including social, cultural and historic value. The outdoors also can help us relieve our stress, exercise our weary minds and muscles and connect us to not just nature but our family, friends and ourselves. With an outdoors adventure comes a sense of responsibility, especially when it comes to safety. Please remember, you are responsible for the safety of yourself and for those around you. 

Ensure your trek outdoors is a positive one. Know what you’re doing, how to do it right and how to do it safely.

 

Remember: You are responsible for your own safety and for the safety of those around you.

Plant-A-Tree on the NFGT

The USDA Forest Service has established a Plant-A-Tree Program. Under this program individuals or groups may contribute funds for planting trees on National Forests. Donations may be made to honor or memorialize friends or relatives. Planting trees is a great way to commemorate special events such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, promotions or retirements. Certificates will be given to donors or persons designated by donors.
