topic: keeping the forests healthy
In winter time you can see the stacked piles of brush waiting for controlled burns as part of the Ashland Forest Resiliency Project. Together with the Lomakatsi Restoration Project, a non-profit, a grassroots organization that develops and implements forest and watershed restoration projects in Oregon and Northern California they try to bring back the natural cycles of fire for the land. https://lomakatsi.org.
If you want the forest to stay, you can support these projects by subsidizing the organizations that make it happen and by taking part in community forums. 
Is there a project you’ve become aware of as you hike in the place you live? Can you contribute to your health AND to your community by taking part in such a project?
2. January is for Planning: narrow down your walking vacations, and your hiking plans for the year.
COMMIT by marking your calendar and start training and gathering gear.
