Spartanburg Area Conservancy

The Spartanburg Area Conservancy (SPACE) is a privately held, non-profit organization based in Spartanburg, South Carolina. With a small team of 5 to 9 employees, SPACE is dedicated to preserving the natural beauty and resources of the Spartanburg region. SPACE focuses on protecting ecologically, historically, and aesthetically significant natural areas. Their efforts ensure the long-term health and accessibility of these valuable green spaces for generations to come. A key aspect of SPACE's mission is to make some of their preserved properties available for public enjoyment. Members of the community can explore hiking trails like the Cottonwood Trail, Glendale Shoals, and the Chinquapin Trail. These accessible trails offer opportunities for recreation, education, and appreciation of the natural world. For those interested in learning more about SPACE and their work, their website, spartanburgconservation.org, provides details about their mission, properties, and how to get involved.
