National Great Outdoors Month is celebrated in June every year, a time to appreciate and enjoy the great outdoors. The idea of recognizing the importance of outdoor recreation and conservation was first proposed in the 1970s by the Outdoor Recreation Coalition of America. The coalition, which was comprised of outdoor recreation industry leaders, advocated for the establishment of a national month to promote outdoor activities and highlight the benefits of spending time in nature. In 1995, the U.S. Congress officially declared June as National Great Outdoors Month.
During National Great Outdoors Month, many organizations and government agencies offer special events and programs to encourage people to get outside and enjoy nature. These events can include hikes, camping trips, fishing derbies, and other outdoor activities. Many national parks and forests also offer free or discounted admission during June, making it a great time to explore these beautiful areas. Additionally, many outdoor gear retailers and manufacturers offer special promotions and discounts on outdoor equipment and apparel.
To make the most of National Great Outdoors Month, here are a few tips to consider: first, take a hike! Find a nearby trail and get moving. Second, get outside early in the morning or late in the evening when the sun is not too intense. Third, bring plenty of water and snacks to keep your energy up. Fourth, don't forget your sunscreen and insect repellent. Finally, consider camping or glamping as a way to truly connect with nature and spend some quality time outside. By following these tips, you can make the most of National Great Outdoors Month and enjoy all that nature has to offer.
