NATIONAL GREAT OUTDOORS MONTH
National Great Outdoors Month in June reminds us to explore our nation’s abundant wildlife refuges, parks, and natural beauty.
Whether we hike or bike the trails, kayak or canoe the many rivers and canyons or pitch a tent in the forest or on a hillside,
No matter our preferred mode of enjoying the great outdoors – geocaching, hiking, biking, kayaking to name a few – nature is calling. Pursue the beauty and majesty of the big skies and open spaces the outdoors offers.
Join us at Dow Park for a social distancing celebration of National Great Outdoors Month. Bring your own chair, travel bugs and geotales to share. Texasgal60 will provide water and snacks. There might even be a game or two and prizes to be had.
2:00-3:00 p.m., Sunday, June 14
National Great Outdoors Month also raises awareness of the accessibility of the great outdoors. Depending on where we live, sometimes reaching nature is more difficult. Many cities create relaxing and vibrant green spaces with trails and paths designed for easy access by the community. However, in some inner-city neighborhoods, access to parks or the ability to get outside the city to visit State or National Parks is difficult.
National Great Outdoors Month is an excellent time to consider making access possible.
