• Seasonal and sensory-friendly art activities

• Outdoor creative expression workshops

• Nature journaling and mindfulness activities

Our career development programs introduce youth and community members to careers connected to the outdoors, agriculture, environmental stewardship, wellness, and conservation. Through mentorship, field trips, and community partnerships, participants see that the outdoors can be more than a place to explore, it can be a future pathway.

• Hands-on career exposure and field trips

• Mentorship from local partners

• Life skills and confidence building

• Community leadership opportunities

Through our Trails Together initiative, we're walking the sidewalks, trailheads, and public spaces of the Upper Cumberland to find out what's working and what needs improvement. These community-led audits bring residents and local health partners together to make our region safer and easier to move through, for walkers, hikers, and everyone in between.

• Community-led walkability and trail audits

• Partnership with local health departments

• Resident input on safety and accessibility

• Findings that shape real trail and sidewalk improvements
