- Outdoor recreation programming designed for veteran communities
- Partnerships with public lands agencies to expand veteran access
- Nature-based physical and mental wellness initiatives

This initiative is also made possible through the generous support of the American Medical Association, an organization committed to improving physical and mental health in veteran communities.
