You just finished a 10K. Do you want a medal or a tree? Last week I ordered medals for Kilimanjaro Trails Festival -- admittedly, with some reluctance. Medals are one of the least sustainable aspects of a sport that depends on and deeply values nature. The 2025 Kili Trails Festival will host 10 races over a single weekend with over 1,200 participants. To lessen our environmental impact, I order undated medals we can use across multiple years. And finishers are given a choice: ↳  take a medal ↳  receive a tree ↳  or let us plant a tree on your behalf here in Tanzania. It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s a step towards a more sustainable approach to racing. What are you choosing? The medal, the tree, or a tree planted on your behalf?

I think this is a good thing, PA ski area association opening membership to outdoor recreation business, everyone is becoming year-round. This will also add more power & might to the association to get somethings done or stopped. I'm also sure it will lead to more cross ties to keep everyone open longer with more support. https://lnkd.in/gSAnkJ2X @goskipa @GoSkiPA #OutdoorIndustry #SkiAreaLaw #SkiLaw @RecreationLaw #RecLaw #RecreationLaw

British Rowing partnered with The Rivers Trust River Action Aquascope have launched two initiatives dedicated to cleaning up the nation's rivers and waterways. Its environmental sustainability strategy and rowing clean water partnership were announced at the River and Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. The latest State of Our Rivers report from the Rivers Trust revealed that not a single river in England or Northern Ireland was in good overall health. https://lnkd.in/eFQ2zxUM. The goal is to enable rowers to carry out water quality testing. Also build on the call for more citizen science testing, leading to action alongside our partners to improve the health of the water on which is rowed. #waterquality #Rivers #water #environment #sustainability #education #climatechange #citizenscience https://lnkd.in/eVdBBNcA

Unified Representation for All Mountain Bikers in Austria At the IMBA Europe Summit, the keynote "4 pillars of a MTB strategy for Austria" highlighted the essential role of community in the mountain biking strategy for Austria. The "Community" pillar focuses on creating a strong, united, and representative mountain biking community. By consolidating all mountain bike clubs under the umbrella of "IMBA-Austria", we not only leverage synergies but also strengthen our advocacy efforts. A central contact point is established, serving as a communication hub, coordinating events and initiatives, and amplifying the community's voice to policymakers and the public. Our goal is to establish a representation for all mountain bikers in Austria, regardless of skill level or age, from children to grandparents. A special focus of our strategy is on professional training for local trail builders, conducted within the framework of the DIRTT.eu Project and the ITRS (International Trail Rating System). This international training initiative aims to enhance local trail building skills, thereby creating sustainable and safer mountain bike trails right at our doorstep. #MTBCommunity #SustainableTrails #IMBAEurope #mtbkongress #thinkausterity #thinknature
