National Trails Day is Saturday June 4th, 2016!!!

Yay!! NTD!! I love National Trails Day!! Once again, I'm gathering a group of AOC'ers to join forces with REI's National Trails Day Event. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, REI has chosen to give back to Kennesaw Mountian National Battlefield, which is a park that I know the Atlanta Outdoor Club uses more than any other outdoor group. 

What is National Trails Day?
National Trails Day (NTD) is an annual event held on the first Saturday of June. It's a celebration of our wonderful trail system and good opportunity to give back to our trails. If you would like to read more about how it became a day to celebrate, please click here.

PLEASE NOTE:
If you register for this event on the AOC website, YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO REGISTER FOR THE OFFICIAL REI EVENT!!!

Click HERE for the link to the official REI event.

Once you register for the REI project, you will need to print and sign the REI waiver. They will give you a link to the PDF. Read, sign, and bring this with you the day of the event.

REI will be providing food, drinks, and a great day of volunteering!

REI will also be giving a FREE T-shirt for our volunteer efforts, but you must register with REI using the above link.
