Greetings, outdoorspeople!

  • Weekend forecast: Saturday; high 50, partly cloudy/ Sunday; high 45, possible shower
  • Recommended adventure: Learn outdoors skills from inside your home. Outdoor Chattanooga’s free winter workshops are back, occurring every Tuesday from 7-8 p.m. through March 23, 2021. This year, due to COVID-19, the classes are going virtual. Topics include camp cooking, wilderness survival, bike maintenance and more, and no prior experience is necessary. Check out the full schedule here.
  • Most interesting thing we recently learned: Each year, the Earth is losing 1% to 2% of its insects, a loss being described as “death by a thousand cuts” by top bug experts. Read the story here.
