National Get Outdoors Day 2009 Plans Announced

A consortium of federal agencies and nonprofit organizations and the recreation industry have announced details for National Get Outdoors Day 2009, an annual event to encourage healthy, active outdoor fun across the nation.

On June 13, 2009, participating organizations will offer sites for American families to sample both traditional and new types of outdoor activities. Prime goals of the day are reaching first-time visitors to public lands and reconnecting our youth to the great outdoors, and then invite those taking part in the day to visit specific sites for fun “EChO-Events” for opportunities to hike with rangers, learn to fish, and go mountain biking.
