National Get Outdoors Day
The US Forest Service and the American Recreation Coalition are teaming up to create a nation-wide effort to get Americans outdoors. They have declared Saturday June 14th 2008 National Get Outdoors Day. The goal of the day is to connect children and "First Timers" to the outdoors and show them the benefits of outdoor recreation and activities. Many Americans are unaware of vast and scenic pubic lands around them. National Get Outdoors Day invites everyone to check out America's Great Outdoors - our parks, our forests, our refuges and other public lands and waters. |
