About this organization
Mission
Outside Las Vegas Foundation, now doing business as Get Outdoors Nevada, is dedicated to connecting people of all backgrounds and ages to Nevada's diverse outdoor places through education, volunteerism, outreach and collaboration. We strive to foster and support a community that discovers, experiences and connects to our state's many natural environments, from wild landscapes and recreational areas to urban trails.
About
Over the past year GON has been honored to serve as the non-profit home for the Las Vegas Community Healing Garden. This project of hope rose from the traumatic events of October 1, 2017 when a lone gunman ended 58 lives, injured hundreds of others and changed many lives forever. The Garden provided our community with a tangible response that affirmed goodness, love and compassion. In 2018, GON worked with the Las Vegas Community Healing Garden Committee and the City of Las Vegas to steward the Garden and to provide a permanent Remembrance Wall (replacing the forever-special Wall created from wooden pallets). The Garden continues to serve as a lasting statement that love and beauty can outshine hate. This special urban outdoor place underscores what GON has always known - being outside and experiencing nature not only connects us to places and the creatures who depend on those places... nature and the outdoors are a critical part of the human experience that connects us to ourselves.
