Outdoor Volunteerism

Outdoor Volunteerism

September 26th marks the sixteenth annual National Public Lands Day. We explore opportunities for outdoor volunteerism in our region.

They're the spaces we go to get away from sidewalks and parking lots. But local trails and parkland need periodic upkeep and cleaning. Every season, thousands of local hikers and bikers chip in with their time and labor. We discuss outdoor volunteerism and get tips for fun excursions in our region.

Great show and thanks for inviting me. I'm looking forward to future editions of "Wilderness in Washington" segments and don't hesitate to ask if you need any ideas, photos, etc.
