Gifts From The Heart

Who says Christmas gifts have to be bought? This year, give a homemade gift or share an experience with a friend or loved one.

Bird houses made from wood scraps make a great Christmas gift. So does a handcrafted hiking stick.

Christmas is a great time to pass down Dad’s or Grandpa’s old shotgun, pocketknife or fishing equipment.

How about the gift of a special Christmas tree or wreath decorated with items from nature?

Time alone with your spouse on a hiking trip is a gift they will never forget.

Teaching your kids and grandkids to love the great outdoors is a gift that lasts a lifetime.
