BACKWOODS IN YOUR COMMUNITY


At Backwoods we support the community and our goal is to give back. Not only do we focus on the environment and Leave No Trace camping, but we also support various charitable organizations and events. Last year, we set a companywide goal to complete at least 500 volunteer hours. We are proud to say that we surpassed our goal and have set it even higher for this year. As you know we have a stellar staff and we would like to highlight the following team members for not only helping us exceed our goal, but also for exceeding their individual goals.
