New Outdoors Club Forms In Sandy Springs

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Heritage Sandy Springs is spearheading an effort to get residents and visitors alike to explore local parks and meet other outdoor enthusiasts who share their passion of enjoying what Mother Nature has to offer.

The organization's new Outdoors Club will host weekly hikes throughout the city from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Fridays and 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Saturdays. The Outdoors Club will also organize special holiday dates for hikes.

“Sandy Springs shines with outdoor adventures,” said Erica Bibbey, the club’s volunteer Adventure Guide. “This place has been my home for 13 years now. It is filled with parks, lakes, rivers, and great people. With this in mind, I enjoy being one of the Heritage Sandy Springs Outdoor Club guides, because I want to encourage others to share in our wonderful community and outdoor adventures with a great group of people.”

Outdoors Club kick-off events are scheduled for Friday, June 16 and Saturday, June 17. Each week thereafter, the club will meet for hour-long leisurely hikes at Heritage Green, Lost Corner, Big Trees, Island Ford, Morgan Falls, and more. The club is free and open to the public; all ages and skill levels welcome.

Advance registration is requested, and all participants must complete an online liability waiver. Sign up for the Heritage Sandy Springs Outdoors Club and start a new adventure today!
