Earth Day Celebrations at the SLA: Trailwork, Outreach, and Solar!: While Earth Day has passed, the SLA is still buzzing with the excitement of April's celebrations and events. Between trail work, camp, and outreach, we really enjoyed getting to connect with the community!

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) Accidents happen. People get hurt, sick, or lost. The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and it starts to rain. Would you know what to do? Many back-country emergencies are preventable, and even when bad things happen, sometimes the wrong care can make things worse. By learning a few basic skills, you can make the difference between a good outcome and a bad one-and maybe even save a life. There are limited slots so please register early.
