Mother Nature has Her own language and in Fall, she speaks through leafy crimsons, golds, and oranges and through caressing, crisp breezes. Nature bursts with Autumnal abundance, welcoming you to the Preserve Challenge.
You're invited to 50 days of connection and communion with the outdoors. With the Preserve Challenge your goals are yours to set - incorporate nature into your weekly routine, build endurance by adding miles, or discover new places throughout our community.
With the cooling of temperatures and the changing of colors, there’s truly no better time to explore our natural world.
