Do you love the outdoors? Are you interested in hiking, birds, butterflies, salamanders, rocks, fishing, cultural history, or any other subject of natural history? Do you have something to give back to the community? Do you want to help raise our community out of economic disparity by educating our youth with outdoor engagement?
