This is the collection of outdoor practitioners that the wonderful @creativestar.bsky.social put together. We will all sorely miss her

Such sad news. @creativestar.bsky.social was instrumental in bringing together many outdoor practitioners on here and always strive to support and connect others.

Climbing trees is important!
Dry weather forecast this week, I wonder how many learners are going to challenge, flex, and build these skills over the next 5 days!?
