Golden Hills RC&D and Operation 22 Til Freedom are excited to partner on a hiking event for local veterans in the greater Omaha-Council Bluffs region.
Operation 22 Til Freedom is a 501c3 nonprofit working to lower the veteran suicide rate to zero. Golden Hills RC&D is a 501c3 nonprofit that collaboratively develops and leads community, conservation, and cultural initiatives to improve quality of life in rural western Iowa.
Spending time outdoors can be an effective way to improve mental and physical health, and doing so with other people provides additional benefits of socializing and building community.
Our goal is to help create a sense of community, get veterans outdoors in nature, and help veterans improve their mental health. Hikers will also have the chance to learn about the unique Loess Hills landform, Iowa's prairies, and related conservation issues.
