We want to highlight the club’s latest effort which is to collect and forward items to a local Food Bank or Non-Profit located near an event. Rovers ask walk participants to consider making non-perishable food, cash donations in the jar at Startpoint, or gift cards at Traditional Events. These will be promptly forwarded.

This is "Rover" who applauds all contributions.

The Susquehanna Rovers Volksmarch Club promotes walking as an activity in which the entire family can participate and gain an appreciation of the outdoors as well as the benefits of aerobic exercise. We have an interest in environmental issues and a commitment to preserving natural areas. We are also committed to leaving our event locations cleaner than when we arrived. Walking has gained popularity as a sport simply because it is something everyone can do. It brings you in touch with your surroundings in an immediate way which you cannot experience by driving your car. As the number of walkers increases, so does the concern for safe, clean, scenic areas in which to walk. Organizations such as the Capital Area Greenbelt Association, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, and the National Parks and Conservation Association are actively promoting responsible development and conservation practices.

We applaud and support their efforts. We also encourage our members to become aware of local issues involving the preservation of natural areas within neighborhoods where residents can enjoy walking, biking and other outdoor activities.

ENJOY!
