Service and Ecology

An important part of enjoying the outdoors is the ability to give back to the environment that we spend our time in. Each year the Outing Club meets up with a number of organizations whose emphasis is on maintaining and preserving our natural areas. With these organizations, groups of students help build trails, maintain trails, pickup litter, clear tent sites, and general upkeep of heavily used areas. Through these experiences, students gain an awareness of our impact on wilderness areas and what we can do to enjoy these areas for years to come.
