Spring is here and the weather in Pittsburgh has been nothing but perfect, I thought I would share some of my favorite outdoor organizations!
Venture Outdoors http://www.ventureoutdoors.org
Venture Outdoors promotes outdoors recreation for all people, from children to the outdoor enthusiast and everyone in-between. Their mission promote a healthy lifestyle, build community, and on top of that, they’re trying to transform Pittsburgh into a city that is based around the outdoors. From kayaking to beer hikes (that’s right BEER hikes!) check out their online calendar for dates, times, and locations and also read their blog for photos and stories.
Pennsylvania: Buy Fresh, Buy Local http://www.buylocalpa.org
Nothing says Spring like the return of Farmers Markets and garden fresh food. Pennsylvania: Buy Fresh, Buy Local’s goal is to make it easy for people to find markets, farms, restaurants, and grocery stores that are dedicated to buying and selling locally grown foods, helping us support our fellow neighbors. Check our their website for seasonal recipes and their blog for interesting studies and projects supporting sustainable agriculture.
Golden Triangle Bike Rentals http://bikepittsburgh.com/
As biking is becoming increasingly popular in Pittsburgh, our bike trails have expanded and reach all over the city. What better way to view Pittsburgh than on a bike! Golden Triangle Bike rents bikes by the hour or for the day and provides helpful information and maps to help you plan your day around the city. Check out their website for locations, times, and special deals.
