If You Like Outdoor Adventures


If you like hiking, rafting, or biking — or stopping at a farmers' market on the way, the Lehigh River Sojourn has you covered. If you're into wildflower blooms, or if you want to identify mushrooms... And if you like being arts-and-crafty, then Wildlands Conservancy has the outdoor adventure you're seeking.

Making lifelong connections to nature takes a community of support.
