Celebrating Volunteers and Shaping the Future of Outdoor Adventures

Embark on a heartfelt journey with me, Lori Modde, as we embrace the spirit of National Volunteer Week and honour the unsung heroes whose dedication fuels over a third of our workforce. Dive into a listener-driven discussion, commencing with sage advice from Dave, who reminds us that our blunders are goldmines of wisdom waiting to be unearthed. Without the presence of a guest this week, the floor is open to you, our passionate listeners, to voice your insights and experiences that resonate with the soul of the great outdoors.

In a whirl of industry buzz, we navigate through the essentials for trail bike enthusiasts in NSW, remind you of the importance of adhering to both legal and environmental practices, and cruise into the workforce horizon where draft plans await federal attention. I'm thrilled to discuss my role in shaping these developments alongside the SaCSA and Humanability industry reference committees. Then, we cast a spotlight on the upcoming Outdoor Education Australia awards and the pivotal migration strategy for adventure guides, asserting the significance of your contributions in sculpting the future of our industry. Wrapping up, I extend a call to arms for your thoughts on the Backcountry Best Practice Discussion paper, setting the stage for an October Snow Summit that aims to redefine adventure standards. Your voice has the power to echo through the wilderness, shaping the narrative of our outdoor legacy.
