What is Outdoor Heritage Month?
Outdoor Heritage Month is a local celebration in conjunction with Earth Day, National Arbor Day, National and Global Youth Service Day, and the National Wildlife Federation’s National Wildlife Week that reconnects our communities to the rich natural heritage of the Allegheny Mountains. Though it is a locally based event, Outdoor Heritage Month is part of a global effort to connect volunteers with service opportunities, promote civic engagement, and mobilize youth to serve their communities. Many area partners will be involved, including conservation districts, public officials, watershed associations, and more. With events aimed to please both children and adults, Outdoor Heritage Month gives everyone an opportunity to join forces for the preservation and improvement of our local environment!
What’s going on during Outdoor Heritage Month?
Planting projects, rafting trips, Earth Day celebrations, and clean-up days – just to name a few. Outdoor Heritage Month is filled with events that promote our connection to our land and local heritage. Some are service events and some are just for fun.
