Veterans 365 Challenge

Ensure veterans and their families experience healing when utilizing public and private land knowing Multi-Use recreational access is certain 365 days a year.

The Value of Veterans

Military Veterans swore an oath to protect our country, its people, and the liberties we cherish. Combat Veterans suffer a great price to ensure liberty for each of us. They pay an often high price due to the stress associated with fighting. One of our liberties is access to state and federal parklands.

The utilization of rural public land allows all of us a break away from urban routines. Healing is afforded to all as research has proven. To regain balance in our harried lives, recreation is critical. Each person generally experiences a replenishing of spirit when enjoying the natural public spaces.
Key to what KPN is about is affording and adamantly encouraging our wounded veterans, be it physical wounds or mental, the opportunity to find relief in God’s natural gift. The forest, ponds, trails, and more.
Now, both for the civilian who wishes to thank the warrior along with the warrior can work and build purpose side by side. The opportunities to find succor for our many cares and worries and build strong life missions are endless. Let us endeavor together.

Per Federal Guidelines a unique "multiuse" classification layers all recreation onto motorized corridors. (Hiking, Mountain Biking, Equestrian, Hunting, Fishing, Camping, Birding, etc.) Invariably Parks and Wildlife, plus USDA Forest Service layer vastly different land use reality. Visitors embark onto some of the nation’s most fragile soils Sadly, with increasing regularity, the corridor most frequented by veterans is closed, while all other recreation venues remain open.

KPN has demonstrated the ability to overcome mother nature’s fury and the erosion of soils. We even find ways to overcome the compounding bureaucracy that
erodes our freedoms disguised as safety protocols. Still, we press forward. We are able to increase standards of forest maintenance regardless of the chronic flooding created by weather events. Because the burden is relentless, we turn to our warriors for strategy.
Veterans and essential workers are not ones to shy away from a challenge; thus the Veteran 365 challenge was birthed. We will prevail together despite roadblocks to freedom. Both those with a servant's heart and our vaunted warriors know that if you give an inch, they take a mile.
