Salem, Ore--National Get Outdoors Day is a new annual event to encourage healthy active outdoor fun. Come join the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the International Mountain Bike Association, Northwest Trail Alliance, and Ant Farm Youth Corps celebrate the Sandy Ridge Trail System. The Sandy Ridge System has been selected to help reach currently underserved populations and first-time visitors to public lands, and reconnect our youth to the great outdoors. In the morning, help the BLM and partners open up a new segment of trail to the public with a couple hours of volunteer trail work. Volunteers will be rewarded with the first opportunity to sample this new trail as they trade in tools for bikes in the afternoon. The event will start at 9:00 a.m. at the Sandy Ridge Trailhead.
