Recently our Marketing Manager, Sarah Johnston used some of her paid volunteer time to chaperone her Girl Scout troop to Waldameer Park Inc in Erie, Pennsylvania for their 2024 Scout and 4-H Family-Fun Days for some much needed fun and relaxation after a busy year of hiking, camping, cookie sales, and learning important skills such as fire building and safety, knife safety, outdoor cooking, and environmental conservation. #GirlScouts #PaidVolunteerTime #Benefits

Pickleball Courts, a 350 room resort, glamping cabins, golf courses, etc. Sounds great, right? What if I told you this was all going to be constructed in our Florida State Parks? The “Keep Florida Wild” parks that are meant to provide visitors an immersive experience in the natural flora and fauna? These construction projects within our state parks will have serious impact on the very natural resources that make them special. There are 9 proposals to 9 state parks to add these unnecessary amenities, and at what cost? At the cost of the ecosystem that is supposed to be protected. We are already at max capacity in these campsites, so why do we need to destroy more land to make room for recreational activities? Hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking should all do the trick. Don’t add in NINE pickleball courts. 🙄 Want to help put a stop to this? Visit https://lnkd.in/eMqs6gGq to learn more and make your voice heard.

Whenever we go hiking, camping or climbing, we leave a growing mark on the landscape. Increased erosion, new social trails, overcrowding and noise… it is a classic case of the tragedy of the commons. We are all part of the problem, yet few want to be part of the solution. That’s why I started The Next Summit: to catalyze change, protect public lands, and prevent rescue missions by educating the public and advocating for policies that advance our mission. So far, we’ve helped train more than 2,000 people through our free mountain skill-building webinars, with another 180,000 people reached through our outreach and education campaigns. However, we cannot do it alone! We rely on the support of more than thirty Next Summit Members who fuel our work and advocacy to protect these places we love. Whether your favorite spot is a hiking trail close to home, a peak above the clouds, or a special alpine lake or stream, you can be part of a community working to protect and steward them as a member of The Next Summit. Learn more about our mission, strategy, and tactics, and join the team below! https://lnkd.in/gidMEEqR #BetterTogether #TheNextSummit #BeTheSolution #LeaveNoTrace #OutdoorSafety

💚Eco tourism, 🌿 nature tourism, 🐷 agri-tourism? Or just good old fashioned camping ⛺? Whatever you want to call it, there is so much great stuff going on to bring together nature recovery projects with experiences for visitors. You don't have to be a twitcher, a soil nerd, or a budding botanist to enjoy these opportunities and as the chance to stay at Nattergal Ltd's #BoothbyWildland in Lincolnshire this summer shows, a stay in one of these exciting regenerating landscapes is a chance to really connect with nature and if you fancy it, to learn something too (I mean who doesn't want to know more about river re-wriggling?!). We are only just beginning to unlock the opportunity for new visitor experiences connected to landscape recovery, #rewilding and #regenerative farming and there is so much potential to create opportunities for people to connect with nature and enjoy all the health benefits that brings. And, for those pioneering new ways of managing the land, it's also a great way to generate additional income streams and to spread the regenerative land management message. Such an exciting space to be working in at Rural Solutions and to know there are some brilliant new hotels, camping, glamping and visitor experiences coming soon - all with nature recovery at their heart. #ecotourism #naturetourism #agritourism #rewilding #sustainabletourism
🏕️ Camping & Glamping Pop-Up at #BoothbyWildland, Lincolnshire 🌳🌍 This August, we'll be playing host to campers and glampers from far and wide. A great opportunity to become immersed in the world of rewilding. 🌿🌎 Boothby is in the early stages of its nature restoration journey, offering a valuable insight into the planning stages and early interventions that will eventually lead to a highly biodiverse, rewilded landscape. 🌱🌿🌳 There are already so many wonderful signs of nature fighting back at Boothby, from oak saplings in the fields to exciting new bird calls. The team will be hosting regular rewilding tours and bird ringing demos during the pop-up, alongside weekly volunteering activities. Meet the rewilding experts, visit the projects in action (including the river re-wiggling and beaver plans), join forces with community supporters, and indulge in the restorative effects of nature. What better way to spend your summer break! ☀️🌿🌼 For further information and bookings, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/evtWf4QR We look forward to welcoming some of you soon.

Engaging in fire safety practices while camping is paramount for a secure outdoor experience. Ensuring campfires are thoroughly extinguished before departure is a key measure in preventing wildfires and preserving the environment. By following proper fire safety protocols, campers contribute to the conservation of natural habitats and protect wildlife. This simple yet crucial step significantly minimizes the risk of unintentional fires and promotes responsible camping practices. Educating campers about the importance of fire safety and responsible extinguishing methods fosters a collective commitment to preserving nature and ensuring the safety of both campers and the environment. #CampfireSafety #OutdoorSafety #FirePrevention #ResponsibleCamping #EnvironmentalConservation #SafetyFirst #WildlifeProtection #ExtinguishWithCare #NaturePreservation #CampfireEtiquette #LeaveNoTrace #FireSafetyAwareness #OutdoorAdventureSafety #ResponsibleRecreation #PreventWildfires
