Carolina Thread Trail & Catawba Lands Conservancy 2021 Year In Review
The past year continues to bring surprises, challenges and opportunities for the Carolina Thread Trail. We continue to make strides toward our vision of a connected 1,600-mile trail network across 15 counties in North and South Carolina, and community support for trails is higher than ever. Even during the challenges of the pandemic, the organization continues to thrive, thanks to your support.
