HUMANS DESERVE TO SWIM

GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA

The Reedy River Project

1% of our annual sales for the places we love.

We’ve joined 1% for the Planet and committed to donating 1% of Beaten Path Co’s annual sales. We plan to direct that giving to Friends of the Reedy River, a Greenville nonprofit that organizes cleanups, monitors water quality, and restores riverbanks.

That’s $1 for every $100 in annual sales. We’ll share the amount and recipient here after each year’s giving is complete.

WATER QUALITY

Why the Reedy needs our help

The Reedy runs right through Greenville. We want a healthier river for the people and wildlife that live along it.

South Carolina has a plan to reduce E. coli bacteria at monitored sites on the Reedy and its tributaries. Greenville County Rec reports a swimming advisory for the river because bacteria levels have exceeded state standards.

There’s been progress, too. The Reedy River Report Card says phosphorus concentrations have dropped by more than half across the watershed since the 1990s.
