President Obama and all 50 of America's governors have proclaimed June as Great Outdoors Month! This year we have particular cause for celebration, as 2010 is the first year in which all 50 states and the Mayor of the District of Columbia have issued proclamations for Great Outdoors Month.
The proclamations, requested by a coalition of outdoor recreation and conservation organizations, celebrate the many special events held during June, including National Trails Day®, National Fishing and Boating Week, National Get Outdoors Day, National Marina Day and the Great American Backyard Campout, and the benefits of time outdoors to the health of Americans, young and old.
