INSPIRING CHANGE

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

This quote has always been an inspiration. As my heart bleeds from events occurring so far away, my thoughts are on actions that inspire locally. Steep Rock’s success is intimately tied to the wonderful community of active, engaged, thoughtful, passionate, hardworking, dedicated volunteers and supporters who inspire us on a daily basis. We’re kicking off SRA’s field season this month with a volunteer awareness and appreciation event on March 19th. Stop by, learn about our efforts, become inspired, join our team, and help us make our community… and the world, a better place for all. See you on our trails….
