We have over 200 partners that host 1000's of outdoor events across the state that introduce, teach and share the joys of spending time in nature and taking care of it.
Activities such as bird watching, boating, kayaking, camping, hiking, biking, geocaching, map reading, survival skills, rock climbing. There are nature walks and historical tours. Volunteer activities like humming bird banding, invasive weed removal, fence repair, wildlife water projects, trail maintenance, point point projects.
We have the photos and the quotes and the resources for more quotes. You can use your talents and creativity to design memes that inform, make people smile, and encourage them to venture outdoors.
