MT CAMPION RANGER-GUIDED TOUR TODAY (1ST OCTOBER)
This is the park’s Main Tour. It takes you to 50 locations in the park, including serene trails, scenic lakes, streams, waterfalls, etc. It also ventures briefly into Mt Campion’s massive underground cave system. It addition, for BBB and CPCB passport holders, there are two stamps you can collect during this tour. Bring your hiking boots, because you will be doing a lot of walking.
Ranger Hex will provide information in both SL Voice and in local chat. Most people find it easier to listen via SL Voice so they don't have to read local chat as they walk -- but hearing SL Voice is not entirely necessary.
This tour was offered once before, on July 30th, when Honorary Ambassador Dariah Raynier arranged a special tour of Mount Campion National Forest. The Rangers thought her idea was so good that they decided to keep offering this tour. If you are unable to make the scheduled tour time, there is also a self-guided version of the tour that you can do on your own. The self-guided tour starts from the same location as Saturday’s Ranger-guided tour.
Mount Campion National Forest is over 240,000 sq meters of park land connected over seven sims. Mount Campion is the highest mountain in SL. Mount Campanula is the second highest and both are in the park, which has miles of trails, caves, canyons, lakes, streams and waterfalls, and an abundance of beautiful scenery. It is definitely worth coming to it and checking it out.

SPECIAL SPELUNKER'S STAMP
As an incentive for contributors, I created a rare stamp for your passport that is bound to be a much sought-after item. To win it, you'll need to add at least ten new forking points and connecting paths in any one of the four maps. There will be no other way to obtain this very special stamp!

Our website has a wealth of information about our many wonderful member regions, news, and more.
The Nature Collective was created with the goal of cultivating a community around regions, spaces and projects which share a common focus on nature. It is our hope to foster a movement to help people engage and reconnect with the wonder and joy of nature, in the virtual world and beyond.
It is a pleasure to work with you to help spread our message and bring awareness of the importance of preserving Nature in all spaces.
Please feel free to contact me, Kes (Kestrel.Evergarden), should you need any further information.
We've featured several special tours and events at Mount Campion National Park of late. Thanks to Ranger Hex, here are the details of the regular weekly events held there. There's a strong community in the wilds of this park. One of its residents told The Gazette
There's more going on in this natural wilderness than in many small towns!
So check out an event or two and make new friends in one of SL's great natural environments.
NEW LOCATIONS
We have three relocated stamp terminals this week. The details are below.
