What we’re about
In today's go-go-go, everybody's behind, got to get more done world, it seems like our work week keeps us stressed to the max. That makes our weekends even more important, as a way to get out and get away from all the stresses of our jobs. But sometimes we're just too busy to find different things to do or meet new people. One group of Tennesseans has found a way around that time crunch. They meet up through the internet...first on a web page, then live and in person...and always with a common goal of outdoor adventure. Get to know Nashville Hiking Meetup.
In addition to our regular hikes and other outdoor adventures, we also plan social events and organize community volunteer projects such as park cleanup and trail building!
Get exercise,
. Make new friends,
. . Respect the environment,
. . . Give back to the community,
. . . . Laugh a lot

Join us for year two of the Long Hunter Nature Club as we pick a scenic spot in the park and talk about nature. Each month we'll visit a different area of the park, sit a spell, observe nature, listen, and discuss. We'll share stories and favorite nature sightings, discuss current nature topics, have some fun, and hopefully learn a few things in the process.
Whether you're young or old, active or have limited mobility, talkative or shy, a lifelong nature lover or a newbie, this club is for you! You are the key. We want YOU to decide in which direction this club goes.
For this installment, let's meet inside the park Visitor Center and gather in the meeting room. Feel free to bring photos, objects to share, refreshments, binoculars, a notepad, or anything else that might be appropriate.
