For us at Outdoors for All, being outside is one of the ways we take care of our mental health. There’s something about fresh air, movement, being surrounded by nature, and spending time with others that can help us reset and feel a little more like ourselves.

Today, we hope you take a moment to do whatever helps your mental health. Maybe that’s getting outside, going for a walk, spending time with a friend, listening to music, resting, or simply taking a few quiet minutes to yourself.

Whatever you need today, make space for it. You deserve it! 💚🌲

Great news! ⛰We're looking for our next two Crest Runners for the PCT '27 season.

The Crest Runner serves as a key member of the PCT team, providing information and education to trail users while also collecting key visitor use data and information. They authentically engage with and support trail users by providing information about the PCT and PCTA, local regulations, safe and responsible trail use and trail conditions. The Crest Runner season runs from mid-February through mid-August, beginning in Southern California and transitioning regionally to the Southern Sierra Nevada mountains, typically in May.

Are you our next Crest Runner? 🤸‍♂️ Or know someone who would be a great fit?

The application deadline is November 2, 2026. Apply online at PCTA.ORG. Upload a Resume and Letter of Interest. Please include your name on every document you submit. For example, label them as “Your Name Resume” or “Your Name Letter of Interest.”

🥾 If you like the idea of day-hiking and backpacking along beautiful stretches of the PCT, often for multiple days at a time, interacting with and educating trail users, we look forward to receiving your application! https://www.pcta.org/about-us/jobs/

Mark your calendars for our upcoming webinar - Hidden signals: What advanced statistical models reveal about wildlife management

Modern analysis of wildlife datasets can reveal ecological patterns that are impossible to detect with simple analyses. This webinar demonstrates how advanced statistical models can translate complex movement data into practical management guidance, using translocations of Mojave desert tortoises as a case study to show how quantitative ecology can inform evidence-based conservation and management. Hosted by the Biometrics Working Group
