Small outings. Fresh air. Real connection.
Go Outside More began in April 2026 as a small pilot designed to help people spend meaningful time outdoors without making the experience complicated or overwhelming. Outings are intentionally small, personal, flexible, and comfortable.
Current status
Active seasonal program. Fall outings are underway now. We expect a brief Santa-season slowdown in early November. Winter outings resume after the holidays. Continued development is planned through 2027.
What happens on an outing
Depending on weather, season, accessibility, and participant interest, an outing may include:
- Fishing
- Birdwatching
- Walking through a park
- Picking up litter
- Exploring a local outdoor space
- Simply spending time outside together
The program particularly welcomes seniors, caregivers, people with disabilities, and people experiencing loneliness or isolation. Participation remains subject to scheduling, safety, weather, staff capacity, and the needs of each person.
About the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife permit
