Stewardship & Service
At the very root of the park service mission and goals are the values of stewardship and service. From the very begining these two values have been the guiding principles of the South Carolina State Park Service.
The park service members serve as responsible stewards of the diverse natural and cultural resources entrusted to the SC State Park Service, and they provide quality customer service to their customers.

The call to action for the 75th Anniversary celebration is Come Out & Play, and each month in his column, Phil Gaines, the director of the SC State Park Service will give you another reason to enjoy your great state parks. Make sure you check in to see what is going on each month.
Meet Our Park Managers & Rangers
Of course if you've been to a park, you have met a park ranger! But if you'd like to learn more about the men and women who work in your 47 state parks, this is the place. Each month we will interview a different ranger with a unique story.
Resource Management Issues in State Parks
There are never a lack of resource management issues when dealing with over 80,000 acres of land and its contents. Each month a resource management expert from the state park service will update you on the latest topic from wildlife management to forestry issues.
