Building youth leadership and exposure to careers in the outdoor industry was the focal point of the Teen Career Day organised by the Purgatory Watershed Partnership and Trinidad Trails Alliance. Great turn out for the entire area!

Had the chance to get my photo with Carlos Lopez, owner of Fishers Peck, who went to school in the Park Street School building. Love when we run into these OG’s!!!
