Holiday gifts shouldn’t cost an arm, a leg, or the earth. This season, choose mindful gifts that foster a connection to the outdoors with minimal impact and maximum joy.
It’s so much more than a hat or a hoodie. Every dollar from your purchase helps cover the Appalachian Mountain Club’s nonprofit work, from conducting research that impacts legislation to hosting experiences that inspire a love for the outdoors.
