Nominate your Get Outdoors Event by April 8th
June will again be designated as Great Outdoors Month, linking dozens of special days and events such as National Trails Day on June 4, National Fishing and Boating Week June 4-12, and National Get Outdoors Day on Saturday, June 11. National partners will ask the President and all 50 governors to issue Great Outdoors Month proclamations, and urge the nations elected leaders to become actively involved in the months events.

Introducing special outdoor places to families, with a theme of fun ways to improve your health, make National Get Outdoors Day especially exciting and relevant for 2011. It is not too late to become involved as a Get Outdoors Day organizer or a new partner at an existing Get Outdoors Day site. Please encourage your lake projects to visit www.nationalgetoutdoorsday.org to nominate their Get Outdoors site. Event sites must be nominated before April 8th by visiting the website and selecting the "Get Involved" tab at the bottom of the page.
