What Are You Doing Saturday

June 9^th 2012 is National Get Outdoors Day, and offers you the perfect reason to get out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors for free or nearly free throughout the United States. Officially the 5^th annual, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations and recreational organizations are getting together to encourage healthy and active fun for the family in the great outdoors. Traditional and non traditional events and activities for the whole family will be found throughout the country. Events and activities may include fishing, geocaching, camping, and other events including EchO events which will also occur throughout the summer.

A day dedicated to the same beliefs of the group known as the American Recreation Coalition, this day is just one more way to encourage our youth to take advantage of all that nature has to offer. Celebrating our state and national parks, recreation areas, forests, public lands and waters and all that each has to offer us is the goal.

Even if you are not in an area offering specific events and activities, you can certainly find plenty to do in the outdoors this and any other day of the year.
