I am writing to introduce Return to the Outdoors, a joint endeavor with the Conservation Alliance to inspire Americans to get outdoors and reconnect with nature.<BR/><BR/>I’m hoping you might find this mission – and some of the initiatives Timex is launching to support it – compelling enough to share with your readers:<BR/><BR/>We’re producing a series of short online films featuring iconic outdoorsmen from their favorite wild places, with hopes of inspiring viewers to spend more time outdoors and raise awareness of the Conservation Alliance’s mission to protect outdoor spaces. I invite you to check out our latest film, which features environmentalist and author Yvon Chouinard, founder of Chouinard Equipment, Patagonia and One Percent for the Planet, fly fishing and discussing his love of nature at a secret lake in Argentina.<BR/><BR/>I also invite you to check out our other videos: our first film features mountaineer Conrad Anker discussing some of his earliest memories from Wyoming’s Teton Crest, and our second film features Steph Davis base-jumping in southern Utah’s canyonlands.<BR/><BR/>Our hope is that viewers will be inspired to share their own experiences with others at our website (www.returntotheoutdoors.com)<BR/><BR/>The best viewer entries will be voted on, and the most passionate outdoorsmen will be rewarded with an all-expenses-paid outdoor adventure vacation for two. We will also be rewarding finalists with great outdoor watches from Timex Expedition, and outdoor gear from The North Face, Camelback and Ahnu Footwear - just for their love of the wild. Prizes will be given away every two weeks through the end of August.<BR/><BR/>We'd love to hear your thoughts on the films, and certainly welcome and appreciate your interest and support for this important cause. Please feel free to share your own outdoors experience with us if you'd like to try and win one of the prizes, and please tell your friends to join too!<BR/><BR/>Thank you, in advance for your consideration.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>Amanda<BR/>www.catalystpublicrelations.comamandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725023154105099075noreply@blogger.com
