Here at KLT, we tend to carve our own path. On Giving Tuesday, the national day of giving, we usually do something a little bit quirky or different. This year, we are hosting some "giving back-tivities" the week of Giving Tuesday (the first week in December).

It’s our way of thanking you for supporting the work we are all doing together. Join us for one or more of the following free daily* activities designed to connect us to the land and to our community. Each lasts about an hour:

Mon. 12/2 Marketing Trek & Talk with Marcy. 9 a.m. at the Sand Creek Trail. Join KLT's Communications Director for a back to basics class in marketing. Seasoned marketing professionals, newbies, and those who have marketing tasks added to their real jobs will take away tips they can use now. Freebies included. Meet at the Sand Creek Trailhead on Bridge Street with your warm beverage.

Wed. 12/4 Tree ID with Regan. 9 a.m. at Pine Street Woods. Join KLT's Conservation Director for a guided tree identification walk. Learn the names and useful facts about local coniferous and deciduous trees plus some fun facts about KLT's Pine Street Woods community forest. Meet at the main parking lot with your warm beverage and dress for December.

Thu. 12/5 Morning Run with Katie. 8:15 a.m. at Pine Street Woods. Join KLT's Executive Director on one of her regular morning runs and start your day with fun and inspiration at your community forest. Meet at the main parking lot at Pine Street Woods ready for some cardio!

Thu. 12/5 Build a Friction Fire with Bri. 4 p.m. at the Big Red Shed. Join KLT's Education Director to learn how to build a primitive friction fire for fun and self-sufficiency. All ages welcome. Park behind the Big Red Shed at the Sled Hill.

Fri. 12/6 New Trail Reveal with Jeanine. 9 a.m. at The Sled Hill. Join KLT's Development & Operations Assistant for a guided tour of one of the brand new trails at The Sled Hill at Pine Street Woods. Meet at the Big Red Shed with your warm beverage. Muffins are included.

Fri. 12/6 Tying Assorted Knots with Shaun. 4 p.m. at The Big Red Shed. KLT’s Education Assistant will show you how to tie some practical knots that are handy for life in the outdoors. The 10 or so knots he will teach are easy to learn for all ages and will help add to your wilderness know-how. 

*Notice that we have nothing planned on the actual day of Giving Tuesday. It just worked out that way.
