Connecting communities and land managers to find common ground for outdoor recreation
Connecting communities and land managers to find common ground for outdoor recreation
Outdoor recreation is essential to our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. We work with communities and land managers to find proactive and inclusive strategies for connecting all people to the outdoors.
We believe that a sustainable future for outdoor recreation is built upon the collective desire of individuals and communities to find solutions for high-quality outdoor recreation experiences that respect wildlife, water, and the land. Using engagement, story-telling, visioning, and social science, we develop strategic approaches for creating sustainable outdoor recreation experiences and tangible actions to get there.
