"Being from the Midwest has given me an intense appreciation for the power of the natural spaces we share in and around Bellingham. Some of the things which have made me who I am today include organics, cooking, health, music, aesthetics, running, learning, and of course… outdoor recreation! I am beyond stoked to be a part of the OC’s incredible community, helping ALL people access the outdoors and the wonders that it has to offer."

"My favorite thing about being in the outdoors is wondering about the natural systems around me, from the flow of water to the weather!"

Felix Kelly (He/him)

"The outdoors is where I feel most myself. Whether I'm on a long trail with a heavy pack, sitting quietly above a river, or riding a mountain bike trail, being outside strips away the noise and leaves just what actually matters. The mountains ask something real of you and give something real in return."

Jack Harding (He/him)

"My favorite thing about the outdoors is venturing to the most remote of places and seeing views so few people have seen!"

Natalie Arthur (She/her)

"The people, the laughs, and finding comfort in the discomfort encompass much of what I love so much about the outdoors!"
