Recently we asked folks to share their hiking stories with us. https://www.nearnorthnow.com/the-pulse/we-want-your-trail-tales TrueMentors, a service of TrueNorth Community Services recently took a small group of youth from the Parks in Focus program to hike Michigan's Dragon at Hardy Dam. Parks in Focus is an outdoor based group mentoring program run through TrueMentors with support from the Udall Foundation and financial backing from the Fremont Area Community Foundation. The purpose of Parks in Focus is to connect youth to nature through photography. During alumni outings youth reconnect with one another, look for different perspectives in nature and discuss the importance of respecting nature and the environment. Photos attached were taken by Parks in Focus alumni youth (ages 12-15) while hiking Michigan's Dragon at Hardy Dam.
