Last day to register: May 1st, 2025
Join TVOP volunteers Max & Canyon for a fun Spring themed wilderness craft night. This event will be taught by a local outdoor educator, in partnership with Lebanon Hills Regional Park.
Come explore the dye plants that dot the landscape of Dakota County. Learn to identify, harvest, and extract dye from plants, bark, flowers and weeds found in green spaces and maybe even in your own backyard. Leave with a naturally dyed textile, and a wealth of knowledge to create your own dye pots at home.
This event is for all ages and intended for the LGBTQ+ community. If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable at this event.

Of course you can always hike for free on your own! What we are offering is not just a wilderness trip, but a chance to create community. On a TVOP trip, you will meet people with shared identities, have meaningful experiences and conversations in community, have someone else plan the logistics of your adventures, and have certified Wilderness First Aiders on hand should you ever need one. All of the money we collect goes towards operating costs for our programs.
Our sliding scale recommendation:
- Low: Yearly income $30,000 or under, struggles to meet basic needs
- Mid (pays estimated value): Yearly income $40,000-$75,000, some expendable income
- High: Yearly income $80,000-$100,000, comfortable, never struggle with basic needs

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
