Take a Date With Nature - Spend Time Outdoors and Join Events That Foster Stewardship

Write a comment
Winter is a good time to get outside. Trails are quieter, the pace is slower, and even a short walk can feel like a reset.

 

Whether you’re heading out with a partner, meeting friends, or bringing the whole family along, being outdoors in winter creates space to spend time together without many distractions.

This February, a date doesn’t have to look like reservations and roses—it might look like connecting with nature. The St. Lawrence Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (SLELO PRISM) encourages community members to take a date with nature. This could mean a candle-lit walk, a guided hike, or learning something new about the land and wildlife around you. Joining events like these offers simple ways to enjoy the season, connect with your community, and explore beautiful places that make northern New York special.

Check out SLELO PRISM's latest Pledge to Protect blog to find:

  • Winter events that are worth bundling up for.
  • Community science opportunities that make an impact.
  • Guidance on identifying and managing invasive species in winter and beyond.

Want to stay involved year-round? Join SLELO PRISM’s Pledge to Protect initiative at iPledgeToProtect.org and become part of a growing community committed to keeping our natural spaces thriving.
