I am excited for the 60th Anniversary Challenge! I love to spend time in nature and when I can spend it with friends and family I love it so much more. My challenge this year will be to share nature with 60 different people throughout the year. This could be time spent with family on a hike, meeting new friends at the Pembina Nordic Ski Club night, paddling with members of my local paddle club, or snowshoeing on nearby crown land. The healing power of nature is incredibly real and if I can help in any way to ensure that the power will remain through the coming generations, that is important to me. Everyone should have access to nature near where they live and I find it rewarding to get people out into those wild places.
