On August 15th, Team East and Boston REI hosted a Leave No Trace Backyard Session. Despite monsoonal-like rain, 25 people came out for an evening of networking, training, and socializing. Representatives from many local organization came to the event including the Student Conservation Association (SCA), MA Audubon Society, American Camp Association of New England, Youth Enrichment Services (YES), the US Forest Service, and Outdoor Explorations. With such a diverse group of people gathered, the conversations were plentiful and enthusiastic in regards to ways these organizations can connect with each other on ways to bring Leave No Trace into their community. To make the evening more exciting, KEEN Shoes donated one free pair of shoes to a lucky participant. Congratulations to Nunu Stevenson of SCA! We hope you enjoy many outdoor adventures in your new Keen Shoes.
A special thank you to Dane Tullock, REI Outreach Specialist, for all of his efforts in making this Leave No Trace Backyard Session a successful event. To find out more about hosting or attending a Leave No Trace Backyard Session in your community, click here!
