When we were kids, I remember using our creativity to imagine a world of possibilities... nature was our playground. Today, a big percentage of our kids are overweight, obsessed with t.v. and video games, etc. They may be lacking in their connection to the natural world. Children are the future, they ARE the Keepers of the Earth.

We are nature lovers and beginner drummers looking to attract a circle interested folks to enjoy their spontaneous musical expressions at the Alley Pond Environmental Center.

Please come to our first meet-up on July 18th and discover one of our city’s great natural gems.

The concept: gather for 2 to 4 hours in and around the Pioneer Valley in Western Mass. We're interested in getting outdoors and having fun.

Our mission: meet fellow hikers, and experience the beauty of nature and discover new places.

For young women (in their 20's and 30's) who are in a serious relationship, married, or engaged and looking to make awesome new friends!

Besides, we've gotten accustomed to our daily routines with our partners. We kinda like curling up on the couch with a home cooked meal and watching movies -- isn't that what lazy Friday nights are for? We are in serious relatio …

Invasive species are erasing and replacing the primeval name of the Hudson Valley and the surrounding counties and states. I know that a small group of dedicated citizens can take up the honorable cause of stopping the march of invasive plants across the landscape while having fun, getting exercise, and making good connections with fellow citizens. The slashing can be safe. The reconnaissance can be fun. The hacking and the blade swinging can be an invigorating exercise that doesn't tear mu …
