Sustainability Class, Backpacking
Please join me for a four-week Sustainability Class starting May 14, it will be held on consecutive Wednesdays from 7:00 p.m. - 8: 30 p.m. The class will cover "ideas, tips, discussions and hands-on activities in support of the quest to live a healthy and meaningful life in Chico, while ensuring that future generations will be able to do the same."
I am also leading a backpacking trip this summer. That's my buddy Dan pictured at one of my favorite secret locations in the Sierras. I have some similar spots scoped out for this trip, which will take placed August 7-11 (Thursday-Monday):
"Escape the valley heat for backpacking the way it was meant to be: lots of lakes, few people, mountain wildflowers and Sierra stars. This trip is perfect for beginners! In addition to gaining an overview of basic backpacking skills, we will prepare gourmet meals, swim and fish in mountain lakes and learn the natural history of Tahoe National Forest. Food and group camping gear will be provided."
During this trip I be modeling how backpackers, too, can reduce their impact as they enjoy the backcountry. But never fear, we will be bringing toilet paper.
Both classes are being offered through the Chico Area Recreation and Park District (CARD).
