The Hitchcock Woods Foundation is dedicated to the preservation and management of Hitchcock Woods, the largest privately-owned urban forest in the United States, encompassing 2,100 acres and 70 miles of sandy trails. Since the early 1800s, this natural sanctuary has served as a haven for both pedestrian and equestrian users, fostering a rich ecosystem that includes longleaf pine forests and diverse flora and fauna.

Offering various programs and events, the foundation actively engages the community through educational initiatives, cultural resources, and stewardship efforts. Events such as the annual Aiken Horse Show and the Blessing of the Hounds highlight the vibrant connection between the community and this cherished woodland area.
