April 2022

THE RFOV STAFF HAS BEEN ANTICIPATING the arrival of April and with it, the beginning of project season 2022! We’ve been busy getting settled into our new office space, hiring a skilled seasonal staff, and finalizing the details of the many exciting projects we’re planning this year.

We’re excited to apply all of our planning and preparation to creating empowering, enriching, and fun experiences for our amazing community of volunteers and supporters. We hope you’ll join us this season to make our shared outdoors into common ground.
