Walk Through Winter with The LENA Project

Choose your level of participation and register.

Once registered you will receive directions on how to get started.

  • HIBERNATORS

    Winter for you means hunkering down and staying in. The thought of going outside for winter walks makes you shiver. Your challenge is to get out once in a while, snap a pic, and hustle back inside.

    You are invited to join our private facebook group to share your photos and enjoy winter through other peoples’ photos. We understand you are a hibernator and will be doing most of your winter discovering from a window.

  • ADAPTORS

    You adapt to winter and tolerate it well. Your challenge is to go out often, explore the winter landscape, make winter discoveries, and share your winter photos.

    You are invited to join our private facebook group to share your photos and see others’ photos. Your photos will be entered in random drawings for small sustainable prizes throughout the challenge.

  • WINTER WARRIORS

    A little cold and snow doesn’t slow you down! You enjoy a good snow day and fresh fallen snow is a blank canvas for you. OR…You don’t really love winter, but you aren’t going let it hold you back this year and you’re ready to approach 2024 Winter with curiosity and wonder. Your challenge is to join our Winter Walking Pledge. Choose a certain amount of days or minutes you pledge to walk this winter (Jan-Feb). Find a sponsor (or two or more) and raise money for LENA while walking. Since you’ll be walking so often, you are bound to explore and discover parts of winter nature most don’t see. Take a pic to share.

    You are invited to join our private facebook group to share your photos and see others’ photos. In addition, Winter Warriors will be entered for prizes throughout the challenge. You and your sponsors will be invited to a special gathering at Harvest Preserve for hiking together, date TBD. The Warrior with the most logged minutes (honor system) and the Warrior with raising the most funds will be awarded prizes. (We’ll have adult and child prizes).
