CLEAN-UPS — STEWARDSHIP IN ACTION

Roll up your sleeves and get your boots muddy! Our clean-up events bring together volunteers of all ages to care for trails, rivers, and public lands. It’s a chance to make a real difference, meet neighbors, and leave the land better than we found it.

YOUTH PROGRAMS — OUTDOOR LEADERSHIP FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

​We're building programs for middle and high schoolers focused on mentorship, wilderness skills, and leadership development. These experiences are rooted in connection — to land, to self, and to community.

Your donation helps fund gear, training, and outdoor access for young people.
