Help us make more nature education and outdoor exploration possible for all people by crossing your own “finish line” with our Wild Miles Challenge!

The journey begins September 16th and finishes on October 25th, but you can start any day after September 16th, just finish before October 25th.

The challenge: Complete 25 activities in 39 days in honor of Allen and Alice Stokes' birthdays. Accomplish miles, explore the outdoors, find new natural wonders, and support more nature education and stewardship - participate right where you are and just the way you are! No, you don’t have to complete every challenge, but we encourage you to try.

The reward: Making more nature education and outdoor exploration a reality for people of all ages! Also, prizes from our amazing sponsors will be awarded in four categories:

  1. Top points earner

  2. Most miles completed

  3. Most dollars fundraised

  4. First to finish the entire challenge.

    All participants who reach at least 500 points will earn a Stokes Nature Center swag bag.
