June 12 Is National Get Outdoors Day
 Outdoors Day is a free, open-house style event held in conjunction with National Get Outdoors Day. Try a new outdoor activity or introduce your family to old favorites like hiking, archery, paddling, and fishing. Bring the whole family and spend the day having an outdoor adventure!
Join us at events across the state throughout the month of June and August to celebrate Outdoors Day 2021, with most activities on Saturday, June 12 celebrating National Outdoors Day. 2021’s events are modified to meet COVID-19 guidelines. Social distancing practices must be followed and masks must be worn throughout guided programs, while at a roving program, and on the trails whenever a 6-foot distance cannot be maintained between individuals or households. Some events may have registration requirements to attend.
Don’t forget to share your photos using #OutdoorsDayNY!
Kick off Outdoors Day on Facebook Live! Join DEC education staff, wildlife biologists, forest rangers, and foresters to discuss all the ways to enjoy recreation this summer on DEC lands and trails. Tune in on Wednesday, June 2, at 10 a.m. and Tuesday, June 8, at 11 a.m. |
