Connecting People to Nature & Community
NNEA (613 Outings) is a not-for-profit initiative dedicated to making the outdoors accessible for
everyone. We remove barriers like transportation, equipment access, and knowledge—so all
communities can enjoy nature safely and confidently

Access to Nature
Our organization is dedicated to providing affordable and supported options for individuals seeking to explore local trails and outdoor spaces. By facilitating easy access to nature, we encourage a healthy lifestyle and a deep appreciation of the environment. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to enjoy the great outdoors, regardless of their financial situation or experience level.
Community Connection
One of the core pillars of our program is fostering community connection. Our events are designed to unite people through shared adventures and cultural diversity. These gatherings allow participants to not only experience the beauty of nature but also to build lasting relationships with others who share similar passions. We promote understanding and inclusivity, enriching each adventure with diverse perspectives.
Affordable Adventures
To ensure that everyone can participate in our activities, we prioritize affordability. We achieve this through innovative strategies such as carpooling, providing access to necessary gear, and organizing volunteer-led events. By keeping the cost of outings low, we open doors for individuals and families who may otherwise be unable to engage in outdoor experiences. Our commitment to accessible nature excursions reflects our belief that every person should have the opportunity to explore and enjoy the wonders of the natural world.
About NNEA
NNEA is run by volunteers who believe nature should be for everyone. Our goal is to eliminate barriers
and build community.

Transportation Support: Carpool and Ride Sharing
Our community offers a variety of transportation support programs designed to facilitate easier access to outdoor adventures. With initiatives like carpools and ride sharing, we strive to reduce barriers to transportation. Join fellow enthusiasts in shared rides, ensuring everyone can participate in the rich experiences our region has to offer.
Gear Access: Borrow Essential Outdoor Equipment
We understand that not everyone has the gear needed for exploration. That’s why we provide a gear access program, where community members can borrow essential outdoor equipment.
