We are honored to be joined to Josh Hein, from Outdoor Recreation Alliance, based right here in La Crosse - a community known for its innovative spirit and commitment to sustainable development. 

ORA has been at the forefront of fostering community engagement through outdoor recreation. Their mission blends stewardship of the land with inclusive access to nature, creating unique places where people can connect with the earth, each other, and the pursuits of healthy living. 

ORA is unveiling a truly special initiative - the new Trail Farm.  This project embodies the very best of ORA's vision; a dynamic, multi-use space where trails weave through productive farm plots, wildlife habitats, and educational gardens. It will promote active outdoor recreation, and serve as a place for environmental education and community programming.
