- SCWA operates the nation’s largest wildlife education center
- Honda to provide ATVs and side-by-sides to support key SCWA programs
- Agreement includes creation of an ATV safety course
American Honda announced today a new, three-year agreement with the South Carolina Waterfowl Association (SCWA), a regional organization that enhances and perpetuates wildlife heritage through education and habitat conservation. Through the partnership, Honda has been named the Official ATV/Side-by-Side of SCWA, aligning two organizations with a shared commitment to safety, conservation and passing on the outdoor heritage to the next generation of enthusiasts.
As part of this partnership, Honda will provide a fleet of FourTrax ATV and Pioneer side-by-side vehicles to support SCWA’s key programs, including youth education, habitat restoration and conservation fundraising efforts.
In addition to equipment support, Honda is teaming up with SCWA to build a dedicated ATV safety course at the organization’s Wildlife Education Center. This facility will be used to teach youth participants the skills and best practices required to operate powersports vehicles safely and responsibly, reinforcing SCWA’s mission to provide hands-on outdoor education.
Finally, Honda is also making an annual monetary donation of $55,000 to support SCWA’s efforts at perpetuating wildlife heritage.
“Supporting various forms of responsible outdoor recreation has long been a priority for Honda, so it’s a pleasure to team up with the SCWA,” said Jeremy McGuire, Director of Power Sports & Products Customer Engagement at American Honda. “The organization’s work with youth education, habitat restoration and conservation fundraising is vital to perpetuating and enhancing wildlife heritage, and our Pioneer side-by-sides and FourTrax ATVs will help to leverage those efforts. This partnership will also bolster the important connection that Honda already has with the state of South Carolina, where our side-by-side vehicles are produced.”
“We’re proud to partner with Honda Power Sports & Products, a name synonymous with reliability and innovation in outdoor recreation,” said David Wielicki, CEO of SCWA. “Their support will help us expand our impact across the state, both in the field and through our youth education initiatives.”
This partnership comes at a time when outdoor access, land stewardship and safe recreation practices are more important than ever. Honda’s investment ensures SCWA can continue to lead in all three areas with greater capacity and effectiveness.
