Want to spend time in nature but nervous about how wild it can get? Join us as we discuss flora (plants) and fauna (animals)

We’ll talk through fears, both rational and irrational, and best practices for minimizing your risk while spending time in nature.

Don’t let fear stop you from getting outside!
