Continuing on our successes of last year out in the backcountry, our 4 Outreach Assistants are going to help put that plan into action this summer. We'd like to introduce you to Rob Taylor ...

Our Outreach Assistant Team Summer 2016
Things are hopping busy at the OWC as we ramp up for the summer season and the Engaging Recreationists Project.

This summer, OWC is training a team of 4 Outreach Assistants. Meet the 2nd member of our team, Ryan Bell!
