Part of this work includes leading others in outdoor excursions to help foster a connection between people and their environment, as well as between one another. Our local Outings volunteers lead a range of outings that are as diverse as their interests, from picnics, day hikes, peak scrambles, community building, bicycling, skiing, paddling, bird-watching, conservation-oriented activities, and forays into the remaining natural areas of our major cities.
