Chapter Meetings

At our next chapter meeting, Daniel will share his knowledge of Leave No Trace principles and outdoor ethics, with practical guidance we can all use on the trail. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just getting started, this is a great opportunity to learn how small choices can make a big difference in protecting the places we love to explore.
