National Great Outdoors Month in June reminds us to explore our nation’s abundant wildlife refuges, parks, and natural beauty.
No matter our preferred mode of enjoying the great outdoors – 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.
Great Outdoors Month – which began in 1998 under President Bill Clinton as Great Outdoors Week – has grown over the years into a month-long celebration of America’s public lands and waters at the national, state and local levels with thousands of events across the country.
National Trails Day- June 5th
Taking place on the first Saturday in June, National Trails Day is a day of public events aimed at advocacy and trail service. Thousands of hikers, bikers, rowers, horseback riders, trail clubs, federal and local agencies, land trusts, and businesses come together in partnership to advocate for, maintain, and clean up public lands and trails.
By pledging to care for trails and advocate for equitable, safe access, you’ll join a nationwide movement to build an inclusive trails community, engaged in advocacy and trail service. You will take action to care for beloved trails and outdoor urban and wild spaces vital to people’s health and well-being across the country.
National Get Outdoors Day
National Get Outdoors Day, held on the second Saturday in June, is a nationwide event coordinated by the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable and the US Forest Service. Several of the National Forests offered a ‘fee free’ day to encourage people to get outside and celebrate the day.
