The Foothills Branch has provided lots of hikes, backpacks, and related courses for several years, and we have several fun new programs on the drawing board including backpacking with families and forming a beginner hiking community. We also help to support trail-oriented navigation and first aid/emergency preparedness classes focused on hikers and backpackers.
The lifeblood of all these programs are eager volunteers to help design and administer them. Do you think you might like to be part of a vibrant and energetic group of people making a difference for hikers and backpackers in the region? Join us at our upcoming Hike-Backpack Program Review and 2018 Planning Meeting at Mercer Island library this Thursday October 19 at 6:30pm!
