•OnlineParks & Trails Council: People Saving Special Places (via Zoom)
OnlineThe Parks and Trails Council of Minnesota is a small nonprofit that is making an important impact in protecting the state and regional parks and trails in Minnesota. Established the same year as Minnesota Rovers (1954), Parks and Trails Council has helped to acquire more than 9,277 acres of land at 51 parks and trails. In some cases, P&T was involved in creating a park from scratch (such as Afton), and sometimes it is to purchase a small, but invaluable parcel that makes a park special. Come and hear how the Parks and Trails Council is protecting the places Rovers love to play in through its land acquisition, stewardship, and work to ensure outdoor recreation for all Minnesotans!

•OnlineBackpacking the Georgia Section of the Appalachian Trail
OnlineAfter completing the Superior Hiking Trail by section hiking over the course of 10 years, Carmen (mom) and Natasha (daughter) decided to tackle the 80+ mile Georgia section of the Appalachian Trail. Flying in & out of Atlanta, the trip was logistically easy and the hike was both challenging and rewarding.
Please join us as we share what we took, how we got there, where we hiked, what we saw, and what we heard. And as a bonus, if you are interested in biting off a section of the AT, it would be easy to lift off our approach to replicate.
