SOUTH CAROLINA SEVEN 2021 began this week in S.C. Upstate

Second annual expedition exploring the Palmetto State from the mountains to the Midlands to the sea

EDITORIAL NOTE: In this first of five short videos over the month July, South Carolina leaders will briefly expound on their experiences along the trail during the second annual SOUTH CAROLINA SEVEN (SC7) expedition.

The month-long SC7 expedition – primarily hiking, but also rafting, kayaking, and SCUBA diving – began in the Upstate, July 1, and will conclude in Charleston, July 30. Along the way, global expedition leader Tom Mullikin and other experts are showcasing the state’s seven geographic wonders explored and observed along a unique trek closely paralleling several hundred miles of the famed Palmetto Trail from the mountains to the sea.

In today’s “SC7 minute,” S.C. Senator Thomas Alexander discusses what makes SC7 unique and why it is important to create greater awareness of both what our state has to offer in terms of its myriad “geographic wonders” and how we protect these wonders going forward.
